RE: Request to Cancel Encampment Sweeps in the City of Milpitas
We write on behalf of the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley to ask that the City of Milpitas (“the City”) cancel its planned sweep of the Railroad Encampment scheduled for March 1, 2022. The Notices issued by the Milpitas Police Department (“MPD”) are insufficient notices and violate the fourth, eighth, and fourteenth amendment.
Irrespective of the sufficiency of the notices, we encourage the City to suspend all encampment sweeps during the COVID-19 pandemic as is recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).1 Specifically, we ask the City to allow the unhoused residents of Milpitas to remain at their encampments through the duration of the COVID-19 public health crisis. During a pandemic, and certainly for the foreseeable future, sweeps will continue to pose a serious health crisis as they disrupt consistent access to services and ability for outreach and health workers to provide continuous care.
The unhoused members of our community are particularly harmed when their personal property is taken during encampment sweeps because they lose whatever practical tools they have for survival or to transition out of homelessness and are deprived of due process.
For these reasons, we, individuals and organizations who are part of and/or support the unhoused community in Milpitas, request that the City of Milpitas cancel its planned encampments sweeps until such time as it complies with all legal requirements and the State-Wide Covid-19 state of emergency has lifted.

1 See Center for Disease Control, “Considerations for Encampments” at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019- ncov/community/homeless-shelters/unsheltered-homelessness.html. 8 Item # (b)
I. Factual Background
A. March 1, 2022 Notices
On or about February 18, 2022, the Milpitas Police Department (“MPD”) began posting warning notices on vehicles (“Vehicle Notices”) in or around the Railroad Homeless Encampment (“the Encampment”). These notices declared that vehicles were parked in violation of the law and subject to a fine and being towed. Said notice cited to three (3) different provisions of the Milpitas Municipal Code and declared that the vehicle “appears to be in violation of one or more of the above laws.” In addition to the Vehicle Notices, MPD also posted notices of clean-up and removal (“Sweep Notices”). The Sweep Notices state that the City will conduct a clean-up of “this area and remove all items found,” including “personal property, temporary shelters, and garbage.” They provided an additional warning:
ANY UNCLAIMED, PERSONAL PROPERTY FOUND AT THE TIME OF THE
CLEAN-UP WILL BE STORED BY THE MILPITAS POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR A PERIOD OF FOUR MONTHS. HOWEVER, ITEMS THAT APPEAR TO BE
ABANDONED OR THAT POSE A DANGER TO PUBLIC HEALTH OR SAFETY MAY BE IMMEDIATELY DESTROYED.
The Sweep Notices cite to no federal, state, or local statute under which the City seeks to confiscate and/or destroy the personal property of its citizenry. Both the Vehicle and Sweep Notices (collectively, “the Notices”) assert that the MPD will return on March 1, 2022 to enforce the warnings provided on the Notices.
II. Encampment sweeps premised on the Vehicle and Sweep Notices are unconstitutional under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments
A. Deprivation of property under the Notices without due process of law is violative of the Fourteenth Amendment.
In Lavan v. City of Los Angeles, the court declared that homeless people's property, "perhaps representing everything they own, must be considered `property' for purposes of [the Fourteenth Amendment] due process analysis." (Lavan v. City of Los Angeles (C.D. Cal. 2011) 797 F. Supp. 2d 1005, 1016, emphasis added, aff d, 693 F.3d 1022.) Accordingly, before a City “can seize and destroy” a homeless person’s property, “it must provide notice and an opportunity to be heard at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner.” (Id. citing Mathews v. Eldridge (1976) 424 U.S. 319, 339-43, internal citations omitted.) Although a City may lawfully remove hazardous debris and trash, a homeless person’s property, “while it may look like ‘junk’ to some people, its value should not be discounted.” (Id. at 1016 citing Pottinger v. City of Miami (S.D.
Fla. 1992) 810 F. Supp. 1551, 1559.)
Moreover, vagueness may invalidate a law for two reasons under the Fourteenth Amendment: (1) it may fail to provide the kind of notice that will enable ordinary people to understand what conduct it prohibits; or (2) it may authorize or even encourage arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement. (See City of Chicago v. Morales (1999) 527 U.S. 41, 56.)
Any deprivation of property based on the Sweep Notices is violative of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Sweep Notices cites no federal, state, or local law under which the City may seize personal property of the residents of the Encampment. Accordingly, seizure of any property 9 Item # (b)
pursuant to the Sweep Notices violates due process as it has failed to inform the resident under what authority and why their property is being seized. The Sweep Notices also dictates that “any unclaimed, personal property found at the time of the clean-up” will be seized by the MPD regardless of whether the items have been abandoned. Again, unless property is hazardous or trash, the City violates the Fourteenth Amendment by depriving its citizenry of their property without due process of law. In addition, the Sweep Notices are unconstitutionally vague. They indicate that the city will conduct a clean-up of “this area and remove all items found.” The Notice does not indicate the extent or range of what “this area” means for purposes of the sweep.
People finding the notice on or around their property must guess the range of the area that falls under the Sweep Notices.
Any deprivation of property based on the Vehicle Notices is also violative of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Vehicle Notices cite to three (3) separate provisions of the Milpitas Municipal Code and declares that the vehicles “appears to be in violation of one or more of the above laws.” The Vehicle Notices are unconstitutionally vague. Due process has not been provided if owners are left to speculate as to which laws they may have violated.
B. Seizure of property under the Notices is unreasonable in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. In considering whether seizure of property at homeless encampments is reasonable, the Lavan Court warned against treating the property of the homeless as “abandoned” or “trash” simply because the owner of said property is not present during the sweep. (Id. at 1012-1013 (“The Court is unpersuaded by the City’s argument that because the homeless in this case stepped away momentarily to, inter alia, get water or shower, they abandoned all their possessions.”) Abandonment is determined by the intent of the owner and should be determined based on the words, acts, or other objective indications that the person has abandoned the property. (Id. at 1013.)
Seizure of any property under the Sweep Notices violates the Fourth Amendment. The Sweep Notices declares that “any unclaimed, personal property found at the time of the clean- up” will be seized by the MPD and that “items that appear to be abandoned… may be immediately destroyed.” Such actions are expressly prohibited by the Fourth Amendment and Lavan, supra. Unclaimed property cannot simply be seized unless it has been deemed abandoned. In determining abandonment, MPD must rely on objective indicators not a blanket rule that property that “appears” to be abandoned will be destroyed.
III. The planned Vehicle and Encampment Sweep will likely violate the Eighth Amendment as it is cruel and unusual punishment to threaten criminal sanctions for someone who is unhoused without access to alternative shelter.
Encampment sweeps on public property are unconstitutional. The Ninth Circuit ruled in Martin v. City of Boise, that the cruel and unusual punishments clause of the Eighth Amendment precludes criminal enforcement against homeless individuals who are involuntarily sitting, lying, and sleeping on public property when they have no access to alternative shelters. 902 F.3d 1031, 1048 (9th Cir. 2018), opinion amended and superseded on denial of reh'g, 920 F.3d 584 (9th Cir. 2019). The decision was amended on denial of rehearing on April 1, 2019, solidifying that 10 Item # (b)
localities cannot threaten prosecution for innocent conduct when homeless individuals do not have a single place where they can lawfully be. As a result, if encampment residents are forced to leave without providing them with adequate alternate shelter, this would violate Martin.
The City of Milpitas has no shelters within its borders for alternative short or long-term housing. The Sweep Notices nevertheless state the MPD will remove “all items found, including…temporary shelters.” The City seeks to displace its homeless residents without an alternative. As the court in Martin noted, “as long as there is no option of sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people for sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false premise they had a choice in the matter.” (Id. at 617.) As the City has no shelters and has not provided meaningful offers of alternative housing that meets the needs of the indigent population at the Encampment, it violates the Eighth Amendment by seizing and destroying their property and levying fines and fees against them.
IV. Encampment sweeps will exacerbate the effects of the continuing COVID-19 Pandemic on the Unhoused Community.
Encampment sweeps have a destabilizing impact upon unhoused residents of a community, even without the added trauma of a public health crisis such as COVID-19. The Center for Disease Control has recognized that homelessness is closely connected to declines in physical and mental health; homeless persons experience high rates of health problems such as HIV infection, alcohol and drug abuse, mental illness, tuberculosis, and other conditions which can weaken a person’s immune system making that person highly susceptible to communicable diseases.2 Sweeps of homeless encampments while there is a public health crisis could lead to the loss of an unhoused person’s medications and other belongings, as well as the potential loss of contact with outreach workers, which could make it harder for them to get medical help.
Conducting encampment sweeps now would have an even greater impact upon the unhoused community. Many people who are unhoused cannot access healthcare and may have weakened immune systems due to ongoing health problems. If an unhoused person is exposed to the virus and is forced from their encampment and moved to another location, there is great risk that the virus will spread from one encampment to another and throughout the community.
V. Requests
A. We request that the City of Milpitas cancel the planned encampment sweeps.
The Law Foundation of Silicon Valley requests that the City of Milpitas cancel its planned encampments sweeps scheduled for March 1, 2022. Moving forward with the sweeps on March 1, 2022 will subject the City to liability under the Fourth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments. Moreover, there are better and dignified alternative solutions to the City’s concerns.

2 See Center for Disease Control, Interim Guidance for Homeless Shelters Plan, prepare and respond to coronavirus disease 2019. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019- ncov/community/homeless-shelters/plan-prepare-respond.html 11 Item # (b)
B. Provide access to hygiene facilities and trash pickup.
Maintaining personal hygiene and minimizing the transmission of germs can be challenging for households experiencing homelessness, particularly in communities with limited access to public bathrooms. Providing access to hygienic facilities for toileting, bathing, and handwashing can help minimize the impact of encampments and help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Community advocates have requested porta-loos and handwashing stations, as well as regular trash pickups in the past without success. We encourage the City to place trash cans, porta-potties, and handwashing stations or hand sanitizer dispensers at encampment sites and provide regular trash pickup to protect the health and safety of its residents and stem the spread of the pandemic.
C. MPD should not assist encampment sweeps.
After speaking with people living in encampments and other service providers who support them, they recommend that agencies send outreach workers who can connect encampment residents to services, particularly rapid re-housing services, instead of police officers. The presence of police officers at encampment sweeps heighten the stress level of the residents and may exacerbate residents’ mental health symptoms. The police officers are not trained mental health professionals – nor should they be required to act in that capacity. MPD enforcement of encampments sweeps provide a harsh short-term solution to a long-term problem. While the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley does not endorse any encampment sweeps, should they happen, we recommend that outreach workers from homeless service providers be sent instead of MPD to help link residents to services3, to deescalate conflict, and better coordinate with encampment leaders4 to keep everyone safe. These approaches are necessary for the duration of the current COVID-19 crisis, and are also best practices for the long term, from both a public health and fiscal policy perspective.

3 As the CDC recommends, “[l]ack of housing contributes to poor physical and mental health outcomes, and linkages to permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness should continue to be a priority.” https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/homeless-shelters/unsheltered-homelessness.html. 4 “People with lived experiences of homelessness can help with planning and response. These individuals can serve as peer navigators to strengthen outreach and engagement efforts.” https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019- ncov/community/homeless-shelters/unsheltered-homelessness.html. 12 Item # (b)

Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 3/15/2022
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution granting acceptance of the public improvements for the Ellison Park Residential Project Public Improvement Plan No. 2-1220; approve a reduction in the performance bond to $79,900.00 which shall remain in effect for the duration of the one-year warranty period; and grant authorization to the City Engineer to release the performance bond after the one-year warranty period without further City Council action provided all required warranty work is completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Background:
On January 3, 2017, the City Council approved the Final Map for Tract No. 10372, Community Facilities District 2008-1 (Annexation No. 11), public improvement plans, and the Subdivision Improvement Agreement for the Ellison Park Residential Project located near 1757 Houret Court, and 231, 247 and 271 Houret Drive.
Public improvements completed as part of the Project included construction of curb, gutters, sidewalk, driveway aprons, storm water treatment facilities, utility laterals, streetlights, landscaping and other miscellaneous items of work along Montague Expressway, Houret Drive and Houret Court.
Analysis:
The Developer, New Home Company Northern California LLC, has completed all required public improvements in accordance with the approved plans and the Subdivision Improvement Agreement, and they are now ready for acceptance by the City Council and commencement of the 1-year warranty period.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) granting acceptance of the public improvements, approve a reduction of the performance bond to $79,900.00, which is 10% of the security’s original value, and grant authorization to the City Engineer to release the performance bond after the one-year warranty period without further City Council action provided all required warranty work is completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Policy Alternatives:
Alternative 1:
Not approve resolution granting acceptance of public improvements.
Pros: None
34 Item # C5.
Cons: Not granting acceptance of the completed public improvements would violate the terms of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and would limit public use of the improvements.
Reason not recommended: Granting acceptance of public improvements is the final step for the completion and close-out of the Project and would allow public use of sidewalk improvements. Staff recommends adoption of a resolution granting acceptance of public improvements.
Fiscal Impact:
The public improvements have been constructed by the Developer as a requirement of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement. The City will have perpetual maintenance responsibilities for the improvements following the acceptance of the project and completion of the 1-year warranty period. The Public Works Department provides future maintenance of newly accepted City infrastructure through budget appropriations as the Council adopts the operating budget.
California Environmental Quality Act:
Granting acceptance of public improvements and reducing faithful performance bond for public improvements are not considered projects under CEQA as there will be no direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Further, environmental analysis of the construction of public improvements was analyzed at the time the overall project, including the Subdivision Improvement Agreement was considered and approved by the City Council.
Recommendation:
Adopt a resolution granting acceptance of the public improvements for the Ellison Park Residential Project Public Improvement Plan No. 2-1220; approve a reduction in the performance bond to $79,900.00 which shall remain in effect for the duration of the one-year warranty period; and grant authorization to the City Engineer to release the performance bond after the one-year warranty period without further City Council action provided all required warranty work is completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

CITY OF MILPITAS
AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Six- year Sole-Source Services Agreement with Symbium Corporation for the Unlimited Use of Proprietary Web-based Tools (Symbium PlanCheck and Build Business) as a Cloud-based Service for the Not-To-Exceed Amount of $210,000.00 and Approve appropriation of $90,000 from Permit Automation Fund 506 for this project (Staff Contact: Ned Thomas, Planning Director, 408-586-3273)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 3/15/2022
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute a six-year sole-source services agreement with Symbium Corporation for the unlimited use of proprietary web-based tools (Symbium Plancheck and Build Business) as a cloud-based service for the not-to-exceed amount of $210,000.00. Approve appropriation of $90,000 from Permit Automation Fund 506 to this project.
Background:
In 2020, the City of Milpitas entered into a three-year sole-source agreement with Symbium Corporation to use its cloud-based “Build” software to help Milpitas residents navigate the City’s zoning regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Specifically, Build allows homeowners to quickly learn if they can build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on their property, explore designs from ADU pros or sketch their own, and become informed on the cost and next steps for getting an ADU designed, approved, and built.
The City now proposes to expand its relationship with Symbium for access to two additional web-based tools called Plancheck and Build Business. These proprietary tools are eligible for sole-source procurement, and both will empower residents to easily access and apply local zoning requirements to their own properties. These tools will also increase staff efficiency by significantly reducing time spent repeatedly answering questions about site feasibility and selection. Interactive tools like Plancheck and Build Business do not replace personalized planning and zoning assistance in person, via email, or over the phone. Rather, these services will enhance customer service by adding a visual element to help City staff communicate more effectively with customers and provide clear feedback and instructions.
Implementation of Plancheck and Build Business will help achieve the following key goals of the City’s Economic Development Strategy (May 2020), IT Strategic Plan (June 2020), and the Development Services Study (April 2019):
Improved Customer Services to both external in internal parties Transition to electronic submittal for all development permit applications Improved Staff Productivity
Address delays and challenges in City permitting processes and permitting requirements 42 Item # C7.
Facilitate efficient development review, zoning verification, permit scoping, and fee calculations.
In January 2022, the City of Milpitas was also awarded a free one-year license to Symbium Plancheck, through a no-cost pilot program offered through the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). This will be in addition to the requested agreement; Symbium is still offering the City an additional year free of charge + the ABAG pilot. Thus, the City will get six years of service for the cost of four years, along with the Build Business module at no cost. ABAG also determined that Symbium was eligible for Sole Source.
See attachment 3.
Analysis:
After conducting a good faith review of the available sources and pursuant to Milpitas Municipal Code Section I-2-3.09 (Sole Source Procurement), the City’s Purchasing Agent has determined that Symbium Corporation is the only source to provide a range of cloud -based software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solutions that allow End - Users to streamline specific planning, zoning permitting, or other government -facing and constituent facing processes.
The Planning Department does not currently have an online portal for residents, developers, or contractors to submit plan sets and other materials for review. The current system was set up as a temporary response to the pandemic and requires applicants to submit their development applications via email, which causes delays when required items are missing. Symbium Plancheck would upgrade and streamline the permit application system by facilitating the following online services:
Initiate feasibility analysis and regulatory review of proposed development projects. This would include residential permit applications eligible for streamlined review under recent state legislation (SB 330, SB 35, SB 9).
Identify appropriate application forms based on the proposed project and inform the applicant about specific information to submit for each type of permit. Provide consistent feedback and analysis in response to inquiries from prospective applicants and store information in a location that is accessible to all staff members in the department Allow online submittal of plans for residential, commercial, and industrial development projects, and other planning-related permits (tree removal, special events, ADUs, etc.). Decrease training times by enabling new staff to easily filter through the most complex zoning codes and begin compliance reviews on day one.
Integrate with permit tracking system by pulling in information (reduces duplicate entries).
Policy Alternatives:
Alternative 1: Do not enter into a contract with Symbium Corporation for use of their proprietary software (Plancheck and Build Business) to enhance customer service.
Pros: The City would save $210,000 in costs.
Cons: The City would miss an opportunity to achieve the customer service and process streamlining goals outlined in its strategic plans for Economic Development, IT, and the development review process.
Reason not recommended: The City has benefitted from its current sole-source agreement with Symbium Corporation for use of its online ADU site analysis tool. The purchase and implementation of Plancheck and Build Business will ensure that the City leads in technology-based solutions to enhance customer services and increase productivity.
43 Item # C7.
Fiscal Impact:
The City of Milpitas was awarded a free one-year license to Symbium Plancheck through a no-cost pilot program offered through the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). A one-time fee of $210,000 covers configuration and maintenance for five years of service, with an additional year funded through the grant. This project will be funded by Permit Automation Fund 506 through the shifting of $210,000 IT staff cost to American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. The total contract of $210,000 was partially appropriated in the amount of $120,000, which leaves a remaining appropriation request of $90,000.
California Environmental Quality Act:
A contract for the use of cloud-based software services is not a project under CEQA. It is instead more akin to a continuing administrative activity pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378(b)(2) which is defined to include the purchase of supplies and other administrative activities to ensure the organization has the tools available to provide various services to its residents.
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute a six-year sole-source services agreement with Symbium Corporation for the unlimited use of proprietary web-based tools (Symbium Plancheck and Build Business) as a cloud-based service for the not-to-exceed amount of $210,000.00.
Approve appropriation of $90,000 from Permit Automation Fund 506 to this project.

CITY OF MILPITAS
SOLE SOURCE OR
SOLE BRAND (STANDARDIZATION) REQUEST
THIS FORM MUST BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED
PRIOR TO ANY PROCUREMENT
_____________________________________________________________________ ____
When a request is made for a sole source procurement or to restrict procurement to a specific brand (standardization) for the acquisition of supplies, equipment and materials or services (except for consultant services or contracts with other governmental agencies), as applicable, the requesting department must complete this form consistent with Section I-2-3.06 - Sole Source Procurement or Section I-2-3.14 - Standardization.
Per the aforementioned Municipal Code section, a sole source contract is authorized when the Purchasing Agent determines in writing, after conducting a good faith review of available sources, that only one viable source exists for the required supplies, material, equipment, or general service, or that there is a compelling reason for using only one source. The detailed information you are providing will facilitate such a determination.
Per the aforementioned Municipal Code section, a standardization of supplies, materials or equipment, including information and communication technology products and services and subsequent sole brand procurement is authorized, when the Purchasing Agent has determined that it is required for the health, safety or welfare of the people or employees of the City, or that cost savings have been demonstrated.
Among the fact ors that may be considered in determining to standardize on a single brand or trade name are that:
a) In order to acquire a specific product(s) for the purpose of conducting a field test or experiment to determine the product's suitability for use by the City. b) When it is required for proper operation or function to match other products with respect to the repair or expansion or completion of a system or program already in use by the City, including, but not limited to, technology purchases required to achieve interoperability with existing hardware, software, systems or programs.
c) In order to achieve significant cost savings based upon consideration of the following cost factors: (1) Timeliness and quality of installation, repair and maintenance; (2) Quality of user training; (3) Supplies and replacement parts; (4) Modification of existing equipment, materials or systems; (5) Future upgrades and updates; (6) Estimated amount and cost of reasonably foreseeable future 48 Item # C7.
V.011322
purchases of equipment that would be required t o be compatible or functional with the product which is the subject of the standardization determination; and/or (7) Administrative costs.
This form is not necessary for contracting for professional services or contracting with other governmental agencies.
Please answer in the space provided, or in an attachment address by specific reference, each question listed below in your justification. Be sure to answer each part of each question as each must be addressed; no response can be not applicable. Failure to respond fully to any of the questions may result in delay or rejection of the request due to inadequate justification. If additional information is necessary, please attach additional page(s) and/or documents, as needed.
1. This is a request for a (circle one) Sole Source Sole Brand exception.
2. Using appropriate detail, including brand name and model number, briefly describe the product you wish to procure. In the case of a general service use enough detail to clearly describe to someone not famili ar with your department’s operation what you are procuring.
If it is your assertion that the manufacturer or distributor is the only authorized source in the Bay Area, Northern California; or whatever the claim is; please substantiate that with a letter from the manufacturer or distributor. The letter must be on their stationary but can be sent via email. Attach a copy to this form.
Milpitas has an existing partnership and three-year term sole source agreement with Symbium for Build. This web-based app allows users to comprehend complex city planning regulations more easily. Specifically, Build allows property owners to easily learn if they can build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on their land, explore designs from ADU pros or sketch their own, and become informed on the cost and next steps for getting an ADU designed, approved, and built.
The Planning Department is looking to expand that partnership to provide additional web-based services that are different products offered by Symbium, and suitable to the Sole Source procurement process. Discussed below is an outline of the two additional web-based tools the Department is requesting.
Symbium proposes configuring Symbium Plancheck
(https://symbium.com/plancheck) for the City of Milpitas. Plancheck is a web-based city planner and citizen-facing tool that streamlines residential site plan reviews.
City planners will enter an address into the tool and select any project scope. The tool will instantly display only the relevant zoning regulations that will impact the 49 Item # C7.
V.011322
project, often even performing an instant compliance check against non-discretionary regulations.
Symbium proposes to configure Symbium Build Business
(https://symbium.com/buildbusiness) for the City of Milpitas. Build Business is a webbased citizen facing tool the allows the public to understand what type of business is allowed at a particular address.
3. Please provide the total not -to-exceed amount of the purchase and/or agreement/contract as well as the requested term. (if buying software, the City’s standard term is five years)
Total Cost: $ 210.000.00 Term: 6 years
Detailed cost breakdown explanation per year:
• The City of Milpitas was awarded a free one-year license to Symbium Plancheck, through a no -cost pilot progr am offered through the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). ABAG also determined that Symbium was eligible for Sole Source. See attachment F.
• A one-time fee of $ 210,000, which covers configuration and the maintenance for five years of service and any required updates due to zoning code changes;
4. For goods: What are the unique performance features of the product/brand requested that are not available in any other product/brand? For services: What unique qualifications, rights, degree s, certifications, licenses and/or experience does this vendor possess?
Characteristics Uniquely Positioning Symbium to Deliver these two services.
Symbium’s qualifications and experience, which make it uniquely positioned to deliver in the categories of process improvements and economic/real estate analysis, can best be measured by the following:
• Team. Developing these regulation-enabled Complaw systems requires a well- rounded team with complementary skills in law, planning, architecture, and logic programming.
50 Item # C7.
V.011322
• Experience. Symbium secured its position as a Complaw leader in the local planning space for cities and counties across California with the launches of Symbium Build (parcel-specific ADU feasibility in California) and Symbium Build+ (jurisdiction-wide ADU and economic insights). The company has been empowering the public via citizen-facing planning tools and now makes a giant leap forward with Symbium Plancheck and the tool’s ability to streamline compliance review and permit approvals across residential zoning codes.
• Recent Awards / Recognitions. Symbium has been awarded the 2021 Facebook grant for Housing Innovation, the 2021 GovTech 100, the American Bar Association’s 2021 Women of Legal Tech recognition, and the 2020 Ivory Prize for its work in housing innovation and transforming planning codes into intuitive web applications.
5. What other products/services have been examined and rejected, and why? (Please provide a specific meaningful explanation, one vendor and one feature at a time. For products be sure to clearly identify the product by name and model number and include the na me, address, email, and telephone number of the company representative whose product you tested.)
Symbium is the sole provider of Complaw tools that enable legal analysis of properties against local zoning codes. In the universe of permit streamlining tools, the closest applications that are currently available on the market include Bluebeam, OpenCounter, and Camino, all differentiated in further detail below:
• Bluebeam: This tool offers streamlining of drawing management and submittal review, with a strong focus on the actual building plans.The tool is used by various building and planning departments to mark up plans and manage workflows. However, it does not offer legal analysis on zoning, has a complicated integration process and does not streamline the compliance checks.
• Open Counter: This company has a residential portal that provides information about residential fees and required permits but it does not provide regulatory requirements. It is primarily a workflow tool.
• Camino: This company offers a land management tool, which is essentially a DIY configurable workflow to manage paper submissions. The jurisdiction, in this case, must perform the bulk of the work to get this configured and working. Though the tool does have a citizen-facing component, it does not have the ability to handle regulatory requirements and does not focus primarily on the needs of City planning departments.
Similar to Bluebeam and OpenCounter, this is primarily a workflow tool.
51 Item # C7.
V.011322
There are other tools that have not been identified in detail but also provide some aspect of permit streamlining, including Accela, TRACKiT, and EnerGov but those tools are strictly workflow-based permit tracking systems with no regulatory analysis component.
Further, Symbium Plancheck can be integrated into those tools (given an open API) to supercharge their capabilities for local planning departments.
52 Item # C7.
V.011322
6. If justification is based on matching and/or intermixing with existing equipment (standardization or sole brand only – (sole brand may only be used by authority of the City Council)), list the quantity, manufacturer, brand, and model of the existing equipment, and identify measurable cost savings co nsistent with the sole brand requirements identified on page one of the request form (attach calculations as necessary).
I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT:
1. I have read and understand the City's requirements for competitive bidding, as well as the criteria for justification for sole source and sole brand procurements.
2. I have gathered the required technical information and have made a concentrated effort to review comparable and/or equal equipment/service.
3. There is validity as to the information contained herein justifying my request for sole source or sole brand procurement and meeting the City's criteria.
4. A sole source or sole brand procurement in this case would withstand a possible audit or a vendor's protest.

SOLE SOURCE OR SOLE BRAND REQUEST
A. OVERVIEW
Purchasing recognizes that departments often invest a great deal of time and effort in selecting a source or brand, prior to submitting a requisition to Purchasing. Even though the departmental review process prior to the submittal of a requisition may be sound, it is highly recommended to quickly engage with Purchasing as soon and early in the process as possible to ensure all documentation and justifications for the request are consistent with the Municipal Code.
Likewise, Purchasing can be an effective partner in a competitive review process given adequate time and involvement in your requirement definition.
In an effort to expedite sole source or sole brand requisitions through Purchasing, you are directed to review the Sole Source or Sole Brand Request form herein. If the Department feels the request meets the criteria, follow the instructions in filling out the form and attach it to the requisiti on. After review, if Purchasing concurs with your sole source or sole brand justification, the requisition may be expedited without the competitive solicitation requirements.
This is an internal City review process. Departments are directed to use discret ion in their discussion with vendors so as to not compromise any competitive advantage that Purchasing may utilize; in the event the sole source or sole brand justification is rejected. Rather than merely a shift of the review burden, this process acknowle dges the significant effort a department may undertake when identifying a vendor or brand and provides you with the method by which to make requisitioning efforts more efficient adhering to the City’s Purchasing Ordinance.
In order for Purchasing to accept a request for sole source/sole brand, the certification form referenced is made a part of the Purchasing Agent’s written determination as provided by the Municipal Code must be signed by the Department Head. The completed form will remain on file for audit purposes.
Sole Source Requests Over $100,000
Sole Source requests over $100,000 require submission of an Agenda Report Sample - Sole Source Agenda Report and approval by City Council and require submission of a resolution as in the Sample - Sole Source Resolution. If you are making a second sole source purchase, over $100,000, within the five -year life of the original sole source purchase you are still required to submit an AR to City Council , and at a minimum, the report should confirm the findings in the prior sole source resolution are still accurate and that nothing has changed in the marketplace or elsewhere. If anything has changed, then a new resolution is required. If 54 Item # C7.
V.011322
nothing has changed, then the Department can rely on the prior resolution but should include language in the AR indicating that all previous findings and conclusions are still accurate, and staff is not aware of any new information that would change those findings or conclusions in the prior sole source resolution.
B. PROCEDURE Sole source or sole brand procurements are an exception to competitive solicitatio n requirements and, therefore, require a detailed justification. In processing sole source or sole brand requests for supplies, equipment and/or services (except for consultant services or contracts with other governmental agencies) , Purchasing adheres to and is governed by the principles set forth in City of Milpitas Municipal Code Section I-2-3.06 - Sole Source Procurement or Section I-2-3.14 - Standardization as approved by the City Council.
If the requesting Department is requesting a particular vendor, brand or product, staff must make this fact clear on your requisition. If approved, the request will then be restrictive and non-competitive and will fall into a sole source or sole brand category.
Such a request should not be made unless Department staff is co nfident that the request is reasonable and appropriately justified to meet the City’s requirements and withstand any possible audit or scrutiny. The City’s requirements and the format for submitting such requests are contained herein.
The following factors DO NOT apply to sole source requests and should not be included in any sole source and/or sole brand justification request. They will not be considered and only tend to confuse the evaluation process and delay the procurement.
1. Personal preference or experience with or for a particular product or vendor.
2. Cost, vendor performance, and/or local service (these are generally considered award factors in competitive bidding).
3. Features which exceed the minimum department requirements.
4. Explanation of the need and/or basic use for the equipment, unless the information relates to a request for “unique factors” (refer to question three from the Sole Source/Sole Brand Request form). In other words, it is not appropriate to only state the Department is requesting a specific tree trimmer so staff can trim trees, instead explain why this particular trimmer with these exact performance specifications is the only one that will meet the Department’s need(s).
5. A request for “no substitution” submitted without justification. This is just a sole source or sole brand request without justification and will be rejected 55 Item # C7.

TO: ABAG Housing Committee and BAHFA Oversight Committee FR: Executive Director
RE: Summary of Plancheck software pilot
On November 18, 2021, the ABAG Executive Board approved $500,000 of the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) Grant funds to support a pilot of Symbium Plancheck Software.
Symbium will configure their Plancheck software for 10 local Bay Area jurisdictions with populations under 700,000 (“Eligible Jurisdictions”) as part of a 1-year pilot. The software helps streamline the residential permitting process by automating the legal analysis of properties against non-discretionary local zoning codes. Plancheck saves staff time by automating responses to routine questions, allowing them to focus on more complex, discretionary analyses. Plancheck also ensures that regulations are consistently applied and reduces the time needed to train new planning staff on complex regulations.
ABAG solicited letters of interest (“LOIs”) from all Eligible Jurisdictions to participate in the pilot and eight LOIs were received. Six responses were complete and met all application requirements, including a checklist to reflect the commitment of the local jurisdiction to accelerate housing production using the State’s criteria for the new Prohousing Designation and a narrative on how Plancheck would be used to reduce significant bottlenecks in permit processing in the jurisdiction. The six jurisdictions with complete applications are awarded pilot licenses as summarized below and will be invited to conduct follow-up work with Symbium to verify the compatibility of local codes with the Plancheck software. Two other jurisdictions submitted incomplete applications. Given that there are currently four unused licenses, ABAG will reopen the request for LOIs and the two jurisdictions with incomplete applications will be invited to reapply. ABAG’s contract with Symbium also guarantees favorable pricing to all Eligible Jurisdictions that choose to independently contract with Symbium outside of the pilot.

RE: Sole Source Justification: Symbium Corp. Plancheck Program Software Licenses
This memo is a sole source justification based on compelling business reasons to negotiate and enter into a not to exceed $500,000 contract with Symbium Corp. (“Symbium”) to provide Plan Check Program Software Licenses (“Project”) to 10 local jurisdictions. Symbium will configure their Plancheck program for 10 local jurisdiction members of the Association of Bay Area Governments (“ABAG”) as part of a 1-year pilot with each jurisdiction. Plancheck is a web-based planner-facing tool to streamline residential site plan reviews with an option to connect to an applicant-facing portal for permit application submissions. The Agreement shall be until December 31st, 2023 and will be funded with the non-federal Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) Grants fund source.
BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The key to Symbium’s business is Complaw®, which is concerned with the representation of laws and regulations, such as planning codes, in a computable form. Symbium’s Complaw-enabled web applications make zoning regulations and large data sets easy to navigate and compute, empowering anyone to use their online tools to quickly assess what’s possible on a piece of property or across a jurisdiction. Symbium’s proprietary technology, which was developed by the founding team at Stanford, accelerates the development of complex Complaw enabled applications. Symbium is the sole provider of Complaw-enabled applications, which provide accurate and detailed regulatory analyses, and which can be configured and maintained in a lightweight manner. This translates to lower procurement costs and shorter timelines to both configure applications at the outset and update them when regulations change over time.
Symbium will configure their Plancheck program for 10 local jurisdiction members of the Association of Bay Area Governments (“ABAG”) as part of a 1-year pilot with each jurisdiction. Plancheck is a web- based planner-facing tool to streamline residential site plan reviews with an option to connect to an applicant-facing portal for permit application submissions. Pilot jurisdiction planners will be able to enter an address into the tool, select any project scope, and the tool will instantly display only the relevant zoning regulations that will impact the project, often even performing an instant compliance check against non-discretionary regulations. Symbium will offer an option to any Plancheck partner to connect to its public-facing portal, to be launched at Symbium.com, where applicants will also be able to perform initial feasibility checks on the zoning regulations for their projects and submit their complete DocuSign Envelope ID: DA8D16E4-4C86-43BC-BFE2-26E15F55552F 57 Item # C7.
applications for permits directly to the Partner for assignment to staff. At the Partner’s request, Symbium will deliver a link to the Partner to incorporate into the relevant place on their planning website, which applicants may use to streamline the feasibility of projects and delivery of permit applications.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS OF SYMBIUM:
The compelling business reason to negotiate and enter into a not to exceed $500,000 contract with Symbium to provide software licenses is that Symbium is a recognized expert in the local planning field and the good (software) is only available from a single source (Symbium). Symbium’s good (software) will provide a unique tool to enable local jurisdictions to streamline their residential site plan reviews.
Symbium is the sole provider of Complaw tools that enable legal analysis of properties against local zoning codes. In the universe of permit streamlining tools, the closest applications that are currently available on the market do not offer legal analysis on zoning, do not streamline the process, are complicated, do not have the same capacity or are not appropriate for what local jurisdictions need in this kind of tool. Symbium’s tool is not strictly a workflow-based permit tracking system like other systems on the market, it analyzes feasibility, filters through detailed zoning regulation, integrates into existing online permitting system, tracks time spent on projects, generates required forms and more.
Their sophisticated tool will drastically save local jurisdictions on staff time and enable them to efficiently go through their residential site plan reviews. It will also provide consistent interpretations of complex zoning codes to enhance predictability for applicants, reduce the risk of litigation, and greatly streamline the onboarding and training of new planning staff and consultants.
RECOMMENDATION
For the reasons above, Symbium Corp. is being recommended to be sole sourced for the Project. Staff will begin the contracting process to approve Symbium Corp. to provide 10 licenses for their Plancheck software in an amount not to exceed $500,000. The term of the agreement shall be until December 31st, 2023.

Recommendation: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a six-year sole-source services agreement with Symbium Corporation for the unlimited use of proprietary web-based tools (Symbium Plancheck and Build Business) as a cloud-based service for the not-to-exceed amount of $210,000.00. Approve appropriation of $90,000 from Permit Automation Fund 506 to this project.
Background:
In 2020, the City of Milpitas entered into a three-year sole-source agreement with Symbium Corporation to use its cloud-based “Build” software to help Milpitas residents navigate the City’s zoning regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Specifically, Build allows homeowners to quickly learn if they can build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on their property, explore designs from ADU pros or sketch their own, and become informed on the cost and next steps for getting an ADU designed, approved, and built.
The City now proposes to expand its relationship with Symbium for access to two additional web-based tools called Plancheck and Build Business. These proprietary tools are eligible for sole-source procurement, and both will empower residents to easily access and apply local zoning requirements to their own properties.
These tools will also increase staff efficiency by significantly reducing time spent repeatedly answering questions about site feasibility and selection. Interactive tools like Plancheck and Build Business do not replace personalized planning and zoning assistance in person, via email, or over the phone. Rather, these services will enhance customer service by adding a visual element to help City staff communicate more effectively with customers and provide clear feedback and instructions.
Implementation of Plancheck and Build Business will help achieve the following key goals of the City’s Economic Development Strategy (May 2020), IT Strategic Plan (June 2020), and the Matrix Study (April 2019):
• Improved Customer Services to both external in internal parties • Transition to electronic submittal for all development permit applications • Improved Staff Productivity
• Address delays and challenges in City permitting processes and permitting requirements
• Facilitate efficient development review, zoning verification, permit scoping, and fee calculations.
As of February 11, 2022, the City of Milpitas was also awarded a free one-year license to Symbium Plancheck, through a no-cost pilot program offered through the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). This will be in addition to the requested agreement; Symbium is still offering the City an additional year free of charge + the ABAG pilot, so we will essentially be getting six years of service for the cost of four years, and this also includes Build Business at no cost. ABAG also determined that Symbium was eligible for Sole Source. See attachment 3.
59 Item # C7.
Analysis:
After conducting a good faith review of the available sources and pursuant to Milpitas Municipal Code Section I-2-3.09 (Sole Source Procurement), the City’s Purchasing Agent has determined that Symbium Corporation is the only source to provide a range of cloud-based software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solutions that allow End- Users to streamline specific planning, zoning permitting, or other government-facing and constituent facing processes.
The Planning Department does not currently have an online portal for residents, developers, or contractors to submit plan sets and other materials for review. The current system was set up as a temporary response to the pandemic and requires applicants to submit their development applications via email, which causes delays when required items are missing. Symbium Plancheck would upgrade and streamline the permit application system by facilitating the following online services:
• Initiate feasibility analysis and regulatory review of proposed development projects. This would include residential permit applications eligible for streamlined review under recent state legislation (SB 330, SB 35, SB 9).
• Identify appropriate application forms based on the proposed project and inform the applicant about specific information to submit for each type of permit. • Provide consistent feedback and analysis in response to inquiries from prospective applicants and store information in a location that is accessible to all staff members in the department • Allow online submittal of plans for residential, commercial, and industrial development projects, and other planning-related permits (tree removal, special events, ADUs, etc.). • Decrease training times by enabling new staff to easily filter through the most complex zoning codes and begin compliance reviews on day one.
• Integrate with permit tracking system by pulling in information (reduces duplicate entries).
Policy Alternative:
Alternative 1: Do not enter into a contract with Symbium Corporation for use of their proprietary software (Plancheck and Build Business) to enhance customer service.
Pros: None
Cons: The City would miss an opportunity to achieve the customer service and process streamlining goals outlined in its strategic plans for Economic Development, IT, and the development review process (Matrix).
Reason not recommended: The City has benefitted from its current sole-source agreement with Symbium Corporation for use of its online ADU site analysis tool. The purchase and implementation of Plancheck and Build Business will ensure that the City leads in technology-based solutions to enhance customer services and increase productivity.
Fiscal Impact:
The City of Milpitas was awarded a free one-year license to Symbium Plancheck through a no-cost pilot program offered through the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). A one-time fee of $210,000, which covers configuration and maintenance for five years of service. This project will be funded by Permit Automation Fund 506 through the shifting of $210,000 IT staff cost to American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. The total contract of $210,000 was partially appropriated in the amount of $120,000, which leaves a remaining appropriation request of $90,000.
California Environmental Quality Act:
A contract for the use of cloud-based software services is not a project under CEQA.
Recommendations:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a six-year sole-source services agreement with Symbium Corporation for the unlimited use of proprietary web-based tools (Symbium Plancheck and Build Business) as a cloud-based service for the not-to-exceed amount of $210,000.00. The total contract of $210,000 was partially appropriated in the amount of $120,000, which leaves a remaining appropriation request of $90,000.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Adopt Resolutions Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the 2021 Amended and Restated Water Supply Agreement Between the City and County of San Francisco Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County, and Santa Clara County and Approving a Minimum Purchase Transfer Agreement from the City of Mountain View to the City of East Palo Alto (Staff Contact: Tony Ndah, Public Works Director, 408-586-2602) Category Community Services and Sustainable Infrastructure Meeting Date: 3/15/2022
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute the 2021 amended and restated Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of San Francisco Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County, and Santa Clara County; and (2) Adopt a resolution approving a Minimum Purchase Transfer Agreement from the City of Mountain View to the City of East Palo Alto.
Background:
In June 2009, the City of Milpitas entered into a new Water Supply Agreement (WSA) with the City and County of San Francisco (San Francisco) and Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County and Santa Clara County. The WSA establishes the terms by which the twenty-six Wholesale Customers, including the City of Milpitas, purchase water from the San Francisco Regional Water System (RWS).
When the WSA was developed, four agencies with access to sources of water supply not available to either San Francisco or the other Wholesale Customers at the time were required to purchase a “minimum annual quantity of water” from the RWS. Those four multi-source agencies are Alameda County Water District (ACWD), Milpitas, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale (Minimum Purchase Agencies). These four Minimum Purchase Agencies are subject to a “take or pay” Minimum Purchase requirement, which guarantees an ongoing financial stake in the RWS and ensures financial stability for all Wholesale Customers as well as San Francisco retail customers that rely on the RWS. These provisions are specified in Section 3.07 of the WSA.
In September 2017, the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) and the Water Management Representatives (WMRs) of the BAWSCA member agencies, of whom Milpitas is a member, began the process of negotiating potential amendments to the Minimum Purchase Quantities provisions.
Throughout 2017 and 2018, the WMRs held multiple meetings during which the four agencies currently subject to Minimum Purchase Quantity requirements shared their interests and concerns regarding changes to the Minimum Purchase Quantity requirements and allowing transfers of Minimum Purchase Quantities between BAWSCA member agencies.
On February 19, 2019, the Milpitas City Council by Resolution No. 8846 approved the 2018 Amended and Restated WSA which among other items clarified the process for redistribution of positive water allocations to BAWSCA members and established an administrative process for reconciling costs from the wholesale capital fund. The 2018 Amended and Restated WSA does not currently allow a Minimum Purchase Agency to transfer portions of its minimum purchase requirement and the associated financial obligation to another Wholesale Customer. During this amendment ratification process, the Wholesale Customers expressed a collective interest in working together to develop a process for the expedited and permanent transfer of Minimum Purchase Quantities. 62
Item # C8.
Under Article 3 of the 2018 Amended and Restated WSA, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) agrees to deliver up to 184 million gallons per day (MGD) to its Wholesale Customers, referred to as “Supply Assurance,”. Through BAWSCA, the Wholesale Customers have allocated shares of the Supply Assurance among themselves, referred to as Individual Supply Guarantees (ISG). Section 3.04 of the 2018 Amended and Restated WSA provides provisions which enables the temporary transfers of water supply between Wholesale Customers.
In 2019, the Wholesale Customers directed BAWSCA to draft a proposed amendment to the 2018 Amended and Restated WSA to provide procedures for expedited and permanent transfers of Minimum Purchase Quantities while safeguarding the financial and water supply interests of Wholesale Customers not participating in such transfers.
Mountain View and East Palo Alto Minimum Purchase Transfer Agreement In 2017, the City of Mountain View ("Mountain View") and the City of East Palo Alto ("East Palo Alto") were interested in transferring 1.0 million gallons per day ("MGD") of Mountain View's Minimum Purchase Quantity to East Palo Alto, however, at the time, there was no procedure in the WSA to effectuate such a transfer without amending the WSA. Therefore, the parties elected to execute a water rights transfer agreement by which East Palo Alto agreed to pay Mountain View $5 Million for the permanent transfer of all rights, title, interest to 1.0 MGD of Mountain View’s Individual Supply Guarantee (ISG) to East Palo Alto.
The Councils of East Palo Alto and Mountain View each approved the conversion of the 1.0 MGD of Mountain View's ISG sold to East Palo Alto in 2017 into a transfer of up to 1.0 MGD of Mountain View's Minimum Purchase Quantity to East Palo Alto, in increments of 0.25 MGD, subject to the City Councils' approval of an agreement for each incremental transfer and the approval of the Wholesale Customers and San Francisco.
East Palo Alto and Mountain View are authorized and prepared to execute a negotiated agreement memorializing a 0.25 MGD transfer of Mountain View's Minimum Purchase Quantity to East Palo Alto.
In conjunction with consideration of the proposed 2021 Amendment to the WSA, East Palo Alto and Mountain View propose the Wholesale Customers and San Francisco approve the terms and conditions for converting up to 1.0 MGD of Mountain View's ISG purchased by East Palo Alto in 2017 into at transfer of 1.0 MGD of Mountain View's Minimum Purchase Quantity to East Palo Alto, in 0.25 MGD increments, if Mountain View and East Palo Alto mutually agree to such incremental transfers in the future and provided the conditions outlined below are met. Because the 2017 Mountain View/East Palo Alto ISG transfer predates the Minimum Purchase Amendment, the Mountain View/East Palo Alto Minimum Purchase Transfer must be accomplished separately from the adoption of the Minimum Purchase Amendment.
Analysis:
The proposed amendment to the Water Supply Agreement and the Minimum Purchase Transfer Agreement from the City of Mountain View to the City of East Palo Alto do not affect the City’s ISG and minimum water purchase requirements with SFPUC. However, the proposed 2021 Amendment to Water Supply Agreement allows Wholesale Customers with ISGs to permanently transfer a portion of Minimum Purchase Quantity through an expedited procedure. The proposed amendment offers the following benefits:
1. Procedural safeguards built into the process by which a Wholesale Customer transfers a portion of its Minimum Purchase Quantity and ISG ensure that such transfers will not result in new or different risks to the water supply and financial interests of Wholesale Customers not participating in a transfer.
2. A Minimum Purchase Customer may transfer a portion of its Minimum Purchase Quantity within its respective ISG to reduce its financial obligation to pay for imputed sales for Minimum Purchase water that it did not use.
3. Intra-system water transfers are one potential solution to long term water reliability needs among the Wholesale Customers. This expedited, permanent transfer procedure will allow intra-system water transfers of Minimum Purchase Quantity to occur without a contract amendment approved by all the Wholesale Customers, thus removing administrative obstacles to such transfers. 63 Item # C8.
4. Expedited permanent intra-system transfers of portions of Minimum Purchase Quantity and ISG will facilitate the development of new water supplies by the SFPUC that are necessary to support the Cities of San Jose and Santa Clara becoming permanent Wholesale Customers.
5. The Wholesale Customers may increase the 6 MGD cap on the total aggregate amount of Minimum Purchase Quantity that may be transferred by all of the Minimum Purchase Customers over the course of one or multiple transfers if demand for Minimum Purchase Quantity transfers exceeds 6 MGD in the future.
San Francisco, acting by and through the SFPUC, approved the 2021 Amended and Restated Water Supply Agreement, as negotiated by BAWSCA, on January 26, 2021, pending approval by the requisite number (supermajority) of the Wholesale Customers. All twenty-six Wholesale Customers are now presenting the 2021 Amended and Restated Water Supply Agreement and associated resolution to their governing bodies for approval.
Milpitas has continuously met the minimum purchase requirement when drought water-use restrictions were not in place. As a result, there is no immediate or near-term need for the City to transfer any portion of its Minimum Purchase Quantity. Formalizing an expedited process of transfers ensures common understanding and protections among all parties, and allows certain agencies to access the process once the amendment is approved.
Mountain View and East Palo Alto Minimum Purchase Transfer Agreement The transfer agreement would provide advance approval for the conversion of up to 1.0 MGD of Mountain View's ISG, sold to East Palo Alto in 2017 into a transfer of up to 1.0 MGD of Mountain View's ISG plus up to
1.0 MGD of Mountain View’s Minimum Purchase Quantity to East Palo Alto, in 0.25 MGD increments, if all of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:
a. Mountain View will transfer up to 1.0 MGD of its Minimum Purchase Quantity to East Palo Alto, in increments of 0.25 MGD, subject to the Mountain View City Council's and the East Palo Alto City Council's approval of an agreement for each incremental transfer.
b. For each incremental transfer, a Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity will be calculated for East Palo Alto that is equal to the City's five-year average water use from the SFPUC for the most recent non-drought years prior to the 2017 ISG purchase, plus the incremental transfer amount(s).
c. For each incremental transfer, Mountain View will maintain, and be responsible for paying any imputed sales for, its current Minimum Purchase requirement in effect at that time, as set forth in Attachment E of the WSA, including up to 1.0 MGD ISG transfer to East Palo Alto, until East Palo Alto's water use meets the Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity for three consecutive years.
d. East Palo Alto will not be required to pay imputed sales associated with the Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity for any incremental transfer of the 1.0 MGD of Mountain View's Minimum Purchase requirement.
e. For each incremental transfer, once East Palo Alto has met the Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity for three consecutive years, the incremental portion of Mountain View's Minimum Purchase Quantity transferred to East Palo Alto will become East Palo Alto's Minimum Purchase Quantity, and Mountain View's Minimum Purchase Quantity will be reduced by an equivalent amount. East Palo Alto's new Minimum Purchase Quantity will be included in Attachment E and both cities' Individual Water Sales Contracts will be updated to reflect this transfer.
f. With exception of the incremental transfers that are the subject of this resolution and the agreement between East Palo Alto and Mountain View described herein, any additional transfers of Minimum 64 Item # C8.
Purchase Quantity, either from another Wholesale Customer or from Mountain View in excess of the
1.0 MGD, are subject to Section 3.04 of the 2021 WSA.
Policy Alternatives:
Alternative 1: City Council does not adopt the resolution approving the 2021 Amended and Restated Water Supply Agreement Between the City and County of San Francisco Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County, and Santa Clara County.
Pros: None
Cons: If more than one third of the Member Agencies fail to approve the proposed 2021 amendment, member agencies will lose the flexibility to manage their long term water supply and Minimum Purchase Guarantee commitments to ensure the best interests of individual communities are met.
Reason not recommended: Formalizing an expedited process of transfers ensures common understanding and protections among all parties, and allows certain agencies to access the process once the amendment is approved. Though unforeseen, this amendment would give the City the ability to negotiate and access a permanent water transfer should it be needed in the future.
Fiscal Impact:
None. The proposed amendment to the Water Supply Agreement and the Minimum Purchase Transfer Agreement from the City of Mountain View to the City of East Palo Alto do not affect the City’s ISG and minimum water purchase requirements with SFPUC.
California Environmental Quality Act:
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), this action does not qualify as a “project” for the purpose of CEQA as this action has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
Recommendation:
1. Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute the 2021 amended and restated Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of San Francisco wholesale customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County, and Santa Clara.
2. Adopt resolution approving a Minimum Purchase Transfer Agreement between the City of Mountain View to the City of East Palo Alto.

Between January 1, 2032 and June 30, 2032, any Wholesale Customer may accept the SFPUC's offer to extend the Term by providing a written notice of extension to the SFPUC. If such notices of extension are received from Wholesale Customers representing at least two-thirds in number as of June 30, 2032 and seventy five percent (75%) of the quantity of water delivered by the SFPUC to all Wholesale Customers during fiscal year 2030-31, the Term shall be extended for another five (5) years ("First Extension Term"), through June 30, 2039.

2.03. Amendments
A. Amendments to Agreement; General
1. This Agreement may be amended with the written consent of all parties.
2. This Agreement may also be amended with the written consent of San Francisco and of Wholesale Customers representing at least two-thirds in number (i.e., 18 as of July 1, 2009) and seventy five percent (75%) of the quantity of water delivered by San Francisco to all Wholesale Customers during the fiscal year immediately preceding the amendment.
3. No amendment which adversely affects a Fundamental Right of a Wholesale Customer may be made without the written consent of that customer. Amendments to Article 5 which merely affect the allocation of costs between City Retail customers on the one hand and Wholesale Customers collectively on the other, and amendments to Articles 6 and 7 which merely alter budgetary, accounting and auditing procedures do not affect Fundamental Rights and may be made with the consent of parties meeting the requirements of Section
2.03.A.2.
4. When an amendment has been approved by San Francisco and the number of Wholesale Customers required in Section 2.03.A.2, San Francisco shall notify each of the Wholesale Customers in writing of the amendment's adoption. Notwithstanding any provision of law or this Agreement, any Wholesale Customer that claims that the amendment violates its Fundamental Rights under Section 2.03.A.3, shall have 30 days from the date San Francisco delivers the notice of its adoption in which to challenge the amendment’s validity through a judicial action. If no such action is filed within 30 days, the amendment shall be finally and conclusively deemed to have been adopted in compliance with this section.
B. Amendments to Article 9
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.03.A.2 and 2.03.A.3, any provision of Article 9 which applies only to an individual Wholesale Customer may be amended with the written concurrence of San Francisco and the Wholesale Customer to which it applies; 82 Item # C8.
6 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
provided that the amendment will not, directly or indirectly, adversely affect the Fundamental Rights of the other Wholesale Customers.
2. Before making any such amendment effective, San Francisco shall give notice, with a copy of the text of the proposed amendment, to all other Wholesale Customers.
The Wholesale Customers shall have 30 days in which to object to the amendment on the ground that it is not permissible under this subsection. If no such objection is received by San Francisco, the proposed amendment shall become effective. If one or more Wholesale Customers object to the amendment, San Francisco, the individual Wholesale Customer with which San Francisco intends to effect the amendment, and the Wholesale Customer(s) which lodged the objection shall meet to discuss the matter.
3. If the dispute cannot be resolved and San Francisco and the Wholesale Customer involved elect to proceed with the amendment, either San Francisco or the Wholesale Customer shall give written notice of such election to each Wholesale Customer that has objected. Any Wholesale Customer that has objected to such amendment shall have 30 days from receipt of this notice within which to commence an action challenging the validity of such amendment, and such amendment shall be deemed effective as of the end of this 30-day period unless restrained by order of court.
C. Amendments to Attachments. The following attachments may be amended with the written concurrence of San Francisco and BAWSCA on behalf of the Wholesale Customers:
Attachment Name

3.04 transfers only)
E Minimum Annual Purchase Quantities (amendments reflecting Section 3.04 transfers only)

D. Amendments to Individual Water Sales Contracts. Individual Water Sales Contracts described in Section 9.01 may be amended with the written concurrence of San Francisco and the Wholesale Customer which is a party to that Individual Water Sales Contract; provided that the amendment is not inconsistent with this Agreement or in derogation of the Fundamental Rights of other Wholesale Customers under this Agreement.
84 Item # C8.
8 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
Article 3. Water Supply
3.01. Supply Assurance
A. San Francisco agrees to deliver water to the Wholesale Customers up to the amount of the Supply Assurance. The Supply Assurance is for the benefit of the entities listed in Section 1.02, irrespective of whether or not they have executed this Agreement. Water delivered by San Francisco to Retail Customers shall not be included in the Supply Assurance.
Until December 31, 2018, the foregoing commitment is subject to Article 4.
B. Both the Supply Assurance and the Individual Supply Guarantees identified in Section 3.02 are expressed in terms of daily deliveries on an annual average basis and do not themselves constitute a guarantee by San Francisco to meet peak daily or hourly demands of the Wholesale Customers, irrespective of what those peak demands may be. The parties acknowledge, however, that the Regional Water System has been designed and constructed to meet peak daily and hourly demands and that its capacity to do so has not yet been reached.
San Francisco agrees to operate the Regional Water System to meet peak requirements of the Wholesale Customers to the extent possible without adversely affecting its ability to meet peak demands of Retail Customers. This Agreement shall not preclude San Francisco from undertaking to meet specific peak demand requirements of individual Wholesale Customers in their Individual Water Sales Contracts.
C. The Supply Assurance is perpetual and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Similarly, the Individual Supply Guarantees identified in Section
3.02 and/or the Individual Water Sales Contracts are perpetual and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement or the Individual Water Sales Contracts.
D. Notwithstanding the Supply Assurance established by this section, the Individual Supply Guarantees identified in Section 3.02 and the Individual Water Sales Contracts, the amount of water made available by San Francisco to the Wholesale Customers is subject to reduction, to the extent and for the period made necessary by reason of water shortage, Drought, Emergencies, or by malfunctioning or rehabilitation of facilities in the Regional Water System. Any such reduction will be implemented in accordance with Section 3.11. The amount of water made available to the Wholesale Customers may not be reduced, however, merely because the water recycling and groundwater projects which the WSIP envisions to be constructed within San Francisco, or the conservation programs intended to reduce water use 85 Item # C8.
9 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
by Retail Customers that are included in the WSIP, do not generate the yield or savings (10 MGD combined) anticipated by San Francisco.
3.02. Allocation of Supply Assurance
A. Pursuant to Section 7.02 of the 1984 Agreement, a portion of the Supply Assurance has been allocated among 24 of the 26 Wholesale Customers. These Individual Supply Guarantees are also expressed in terms of annual average metered deliveries of millions of gallons per day and are listed in Attachment C.
B. Three Wholesale Customers do not have Individual Supply Guarantees. The cities of San Jose and Santa Clara do not have an Individual Supply Guarantees because San Francisco has provided water to them on a temporary and interruptible basis as described in Sections 4.05 and 9.06. The City of Hayward does not have an Individual Supply Guarantee because of the terms of the 1962 contract between it and San Francisco, as further described in Section 9.03.
C. If the total amount of water delivered by San Francisco to Hayward and to the Wholesale Customers that are listed on Attachment C exceeds 184 MGD over a period of three consecutive fiscal years (i.e., July 1 through June 30), then the Individual Supply Guarantees of those Wholesale Customers listed on Attachment C shall be reduced pro rata so that their combined entitlement and the sustained use by Hayward does not exceed 184 MGD. The procedure for calculating the pro rata reduction in Individual Supply Guarantees is set out in Attachment D.
1. The provisions of this subsection C are not in derogation of the reservation of claims to water in excess of the Supply Assurance which are contained in Section
8.07. Nor do they constitute an acknowledgement by Wholesale Customers other than Hayward that San Francisco is obligated or entitled to reduce their Individual Supply Guarantees in the circumstances described herein. The provisions of this subsection C shall, however, be operative unless and until a court determines that its provisions violate rights of the Wholesale Customers derived independently of this Agreement.
2. The foregoing paragraph is not intended to and shall not constitute a contractual commitment on the part of San Francisco to furnish more water than the Supply Assurance to the Wholesale Customers or a concession by San Francisco that the provisions of this subsection violate any rights of the Wholesale Customers. 86 Item # C8.
10 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
D. Notwithstanding the reservation of claims contained in Sections 3.02.C and 8.07, it shall be the responsibility of each Wholesale Customer to limit its purchases of water from San Francisco so as to remain within its Individual Supply Guarantee. San Francisco shall not be liable to any Wholesale Customer or be obligated to supply more water to any Wholesale Customer individually or to the Wholesale Customers collectively than the amount to which it or they are otherwise entitled under this Agreement due to the use by any Wholesale Customer of more water than the amount to which it is entitled under this Agreement.
E. San Francisco shall install such new connections between the Regional Water System and the distribution system of any Wholesale Customer that are necessary to deliver the quantities of water to which the Wholesale Customer is entitled under this Agreement. San Francisco shall have the right to determine the location of such connections, in light of the need to maintain the structural integrity of the Regional Water System and, where applicable, the need to limit peaking directly off of Regional Water System pipelines by a Wholesale Customer's individual retail customers, the need to ensure that a Wholesale Customer's individual retail customers have access to alternative sources of water in the event of a reduction in San Francisco's ability to provide them with water, and other factors which may affect the desirability or undesirability of a particular location. San Francisco's decisions regarding the location of new connections and the location, size and type of any new meters shall not be reviewable by a court except for an abuse of discretion or failure to provide a Wholesale Customer with connections and meters adequate to deliver the quantity of water to which it is entitled under this Agreement.
3.03. Wholesale Customer Service Areas
A. Each of the Individual Water Sales Contracts described in Section 9.01 will contain, as an exhibit, a map of the Wholesale Customer’s service area. A Wholesale Customer may not deliver water furnished to it by San Francisco outside the boundary of its service area without the prior written consent of San Francisco, except for deliveries to another Wholesale Customer on an emergency and temporary basis pursuant to Section 3.07.B.
B. If a Wholesale Customer wishes to expand its service area, it shall request San Francisco's consent to the expansion and provide information reasonably requested by San Francisco about the amount of water projected to be purchased from San Francisco to meet demand within the area proposed to be added to the service area. 87 Item # C8.
11 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
C. San Francisco may refuse a Wholesale Customer's request to expand its service area on any reasonable basis. If San Francisco denies a request by a Wholesale Customer to expand its service area, or fails to act on the request for six months after it has been submitted, the Wholesale Customer may challenge San Francisco's denial or delay in court. Such a challenge may be based on the Wholesale Customers’ claim, reserved in Section 8.07, that San Francisco is obligated under federal or state law to furnish water, included within its Individual Supply Guarantee, to it for delivery outside its then-existing service area and that it is entitled to enlarge its service area to supply water to such customers. San Francisco reserves the right to contest any such claim on any applicable ground. This subsection does not apply to San Jose and Santa Clara, whose maximum service areas are fixed pursuant to Section 9.06.
D. This section will not prevent San Francisco and any Wholesale Customer, other than San Jose and Santa Clara, from agreeing in an Individual Water Sales Contract or an amendment thereto that:
• the Wholesale Customer may expand its service area without subsequent San Francisco approval to a definitive size but no larger, or
• the Wholesale Customer will not expand its service area beyond its present limits without San Francisco approval
and waiving the provisions of this section with respect to any additional expansion.
E. If two or more Wholesale Customers agree to adjust the boundaries of their respective service areas so that one assumes an obligation to serve customers in an area that was previously within the service area of another Wholesale Customer, they may also correspondingly adjust their respective Individual Supply Guarantees. Such adjustments are not subject to the requirements of Section 3.04 and shall require only the consent of San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers involved, so long as the Supply Assurance and the Individual Supply Guarantees of other Wholesale Customers are not affected. Service area boundary adjustments that would result in the expansion of any California Water Service Company service areas are subject to the requirements of Section 9.02.D. Any adjustment of service area boundaries that would result in the supply of water in violation of this Agreement or the Act shall be void.
F. San Francisco acknowledges that it has heretofore consented in writing to deliveries of water by individual Wholesale Customers outside their service area boundaries and 88 Item # C8.
12 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
agrees that nothing in this Agreement is intended to affect such prior authorizations, which remain in full force and effect according to their terms. Such authorizations shall be identified in the Individual Water Sales Contracts.
3.04. Permanent Transfers of Individual Supply Guarantees and Minimum Annual Purchase Quantities
A. A Wholesale Customer that has an Individual Supply Guarantee may transfer a portion of it to one or more other Wholesale Customers, as provided in this section.
B. Transfers of a portion of an Individual Supply Guarantee must be permanent, as opposed to temporary or time-limited. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, a portion of an Individual Supply Guarantee that has been transferred under this section may be included in another transfer under this section at a later date. The minimum quantity that may be transferred is 1/10th of a MGD.
C. Transfers of a portion of a Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity may be included in transfers of a portion of an Individual Supply Guarantee and are subject to the same requirements for Individual Supply Guarantee transfers in this section as well as the following conditions:
1. Transferor of Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity. A Wholesale Customer subject to the minimum annual purchase requirements of Section 3.07.C may transfer both a portion of its Individual Supply Guarantee and a portion of its Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity to one or more Wholesale Customers that have an Individual Supply Guarantee. The process by which such a transfer may be proposed and approved is set forth in subparts D and E of this section. A Wholesale Customer that had a Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity at the start of the Term of this Agreement may not cumulatively transfer, over the course of one or multiple transfers, more than half (50%) of its Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity as first specified in Attachment E at the start of the Term of this Agreement. Wholesale Customers that had a Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity at the start of the Term of this Agreement may not cumulatively transfer, over the course of one or multiple transfers, more than 6 MGD of the total aggregate Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity specified in Attachment E at the start of the Term of this Agreement. A Wholesale Customer that received a Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity through a transfer under this section may cumulatively transfer, over the course of one or multiple transfers, a portion of or all of the Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity it received 89 Item # C8.
13 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
pursuant to this section. The effect of such a transfer will be a reduction in the transferor’s Individual Supply Guarantee, specified in Attachment C, and a reduction in the transferor’s Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity, specified in Attachment E. The SFPUC and BAWSCA will update Attachments C and E to reflect such changes, pursuant to Section 3.04.F. The reduction in the transferor’s permanent Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity shall become effective in the same fiscal year in which the transfer becomes effective.
2. Transferee of Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity. A Wholesale Customer that has an Individual Supply Guarantee may be the recipient, or transferee, of both a portion of Individual Supply Guarantee and a portion of Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity from another Wholesale Customer that has an Individual Supply Guarantee, whether or not the transferee is already subject to the minimum annual purchase requirements of Section 3.07.C.
When such a transfer is approved and effective, the transferee will initially have a revised Individual Supply Guarantee and a Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity, which will be reflected on Attachments C and E-1, respectively, pursuant to Section 3.04.F. A Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity will become effective in the same fiscal year in which the transfer becomes effective. The transferee’s Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity will ultimately be replaced by a permanent Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity, as described in this sub-section, which will be reflected on Attachment E pursuant to Section 3.04.F.
3. Calculation of Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity.
The Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity that a transferee receives from a transfer under this sub-section is the sum of (1) the average annual (fiscal year) quantity of water purchased by the transferee from the SFPUC (plus Imputed Sales, if applicable) in the most recent five previous non-drought fiscal years, plus (2) the relevant reduction in the transferor's Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity. For this calculation, the five previous non- drought fiscal years need not be consecutive. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences in this paragraph, if a transferee has an existing Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity at the time of a new transfer under this sub-section, the transferee’s new Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity under the new transfer will be the sum of (1) the transferee’s existing Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity, plus (2) the relevant reduction in the transferor’s Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity. Attachment E-2 contains sample calculations of the Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity for 90 Item # C8.
14 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
transferees who are subject to, or not yet subject to, the minimum annual purchase requirements of Section 3.07.C.
4. Duration and Expiration of Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity.
a. Once a transfer under this sub-section is approved and effective, the transferee is required to purchase from the SFPUC its Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity until the quantity of water delivered annually to the transferee by the SFPUC meets or exceeds the Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity for three consecutive fiscal years. It may take many years for the quantity of water delivered to meet or exceed this amount. The transferee’s Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity is subject to waiver by the SFPUC as described in Section 3.07.C. However, even in the event of such a waiver, a fiscal year in which the transferee still purchases from the SFPUC an amount of water that meets or exceeds its Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity will count as a fiscal year in which the transferee has met or exceeded its Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity for the purposes of this paragraph. b. Once the quantity of water delivered to the transferee by the SFPUC reaches the milestone described in the preceding paragraph, the transferee will no longer be subject to the Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity. Instead, the transferee will have a new permanent Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity, which will equal the sum of (1) its previous Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity, if applicable, plus (2) the relevant reduction in the transferor’s Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity. The transferee’s new permanent Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity will be reflected on Attachment E, and its expired Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity will be removed from Attachment E-1, pursuant to Section 3.04.F. Any other Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantities of the transferee will remain in effect on Attachment E-1.
D. Transfers of portions of Individual Supply Guarantees, including transfers of portions of Minimum Annual Purchase Quantities, are subject to approval by the SFPUC.
SFPUC review is limited to determining (1) whether a proposed transfer complies with the Act, and (2) whether the affected facilities in the Regional Water System have sufficient capacity to accommodate delivery of the increased amount of water to the proposed transferee.
E. The participants in a proposed transfer shall provide written notice to the SFPUC and BAWSCA specifying (1) the amount of the Individual Supply Guarantee proposed to be 91 Item # C8.
15 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
transferred, (2) the proposed effective date of the transfer, which shall not be less than 60 days after the notice is submitted to the SFPUC, and (3) the Individual Supply Guarantees of both participants resulting from the transfer. If a proposed transfer includes the transfer of a portion of Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity, then the participants will provide additional written notice specifying (4) the amount of the Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity proposed to be transferred, (5) transferee's Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity and permanent Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity under the transfer, and (6) the transferor's new Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity under the transfer. The SFPUC may require that the participants in any proposed transfer provide additional information reasonably necessary to evaluate the operational impacts of the proposed transfer and any additional information that will assist the SFPUC in its review of the proposed transfer. The SFPUC will not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of a proposed transfer; if the SFPUC does not act on the written notice provided by the participants within 60 days, the transfer will be deemed to have been approved. An approved transfer becomes effective on the proposed effective date set forth in the written notice of the proposed transfer provided to the SFPUC and BAWSCA.
F. Within 30 days after the transfer has become effective, both the transferor and the transferee will provide written notice to the SFPUC and BAWSCA. By September 30 of each year during the Term, the SFPUC and BAWSCA will prepare an updated Attachment C, and updated Attachments E and E-1 where applicable, to reflect the effects of transfers occurring during the immediately preceding fiscal year. By September 30 of each year during the Term, the Individual Water Sales Contracts between San Francisco and any Wholesale Customers who are participants in a transfer under this Section will be amended with the written concurrence of San Francisco and those Wholesale Customers to reflect the effects of transfers occurring during the immediately preceding fiscal year, as necessary.
G. Amounts transferred will remain subject to pro rata reduction under the circumstances described in Section 3.02.C and according to the formula set forth in Attachment D.
H. A proposed transfer that does not satisfy the requirements of this section may be presented as an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.03. 92 Item # C8.
16 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
3.05. Restrictions on Resale
Each Wholesale Customer agrees that it will not sell any water purchased from San Francisco to a private party for resale by such private party to others in violation of the Act.
Each Wholesale Customer also agrees that it will not sell water purchased from San Francisco to another Wholesale Customer without prior written approval of the SFPUC, except on a temporary and emergency basis as permitted in Section 3.07.B.2. The SFPUC agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold its consent to a request by a Wholesale Customer to deliver water to another Wholesale Customer for resale.
3.06. Conservation; Use of Local Sources; Water Management Charge A. In order to support the continuation and expansion of water conservation programs, water recycling, and development of alternative supplies within the Wholesale Customers’ service areas, the SFPUC will, if requested by BAWSCA, include the Water Management Charge in water bills sent to Wholesale Customers. The SFPUC will deliver all Water Management Charge revenue to BAWSCA monthly and shall deliver an annual accounting of Water Management Charge revenue to BAWSCA within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year. The SFPUC’s obligations to collect and deliver Water Management Charge revenue to BAWSCA under this subsection are conditioned on BAWSCA’s delivery to the SFPUC of an annual report describing the projects and programs on which Water Management Charge funds received from the SFPUC during the previous fiscal year were expended and an estimate of the amount of water savings attributable to conservation programs and of the yield of alternative supplies developed. This report will be due within 180 days after the end of each fiscal year during which Water Management Charge funds were received.
B. The SFPUC will work together with BAWSCA to explore ways to support water conservation programs, recycling projects, and conjunctive use alternatives outside the Wholesale Service Area, in particular projects and programs that have the potential to increase both flows in the lower Tuolumne River (downstream of New Don Pedro Reservoir) and water deliveries to the Regional Water System.
C. Each Wholesale Customer shall take all actions within its legal authority related to water conservation that are necessary to insure that the SFPUC (a) remains eligible for (i) state and federal grants and (ii) access to the Drought Water Bank operated by the California Department of Water Resources, as well as other Drought-related water purchase or transfer 93 Item # C8.
17 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
programs, and (b) complies with future legal requirements imposed on the Regional Water System by the federal government, the State, or any other third party as conditions for receiving funding or water supply.
D. San Francisco and each Wholesale Customer agree that they will diligently apply their best efforts to use both surface water and groundwater sources located within their respective service areas and available recycled water to the maximum feasible extent, taking into account the environmental impacts, the public health effects and the effects on supply reliability of such use, as well as the cost of developing such sources.
3.07. Restrictions on Purchases of Water from Others; Minimum Annual Purchases A. Each Wholesale Customer (except for Alameda County Water District and the cities of Milpitas, Mountain View and Sunnyvale) agrees that it will not contract for, purchase or receive, with or without compensation, directly or indirectly, from any person, corporation, governmental agency or other entity, any water for delivery or use within its service area without the prior written consent of San Francisco.
B. The prohibition in subsection A does not apply to:
1. recycled water;
2. water necessary on an emergency and temporary basis, provided that the Wholesale Customer promptly gives San Francisco notice of the nature of the emergency, the amount of water that has been or is to be purchased, and the expected duration of the emergency; or
3. water in excess of a Wholesale Customer’s Individual Supply Guarantee.
C. Alameda County Water District and the cities of Milpitas, Mountain View and Sunnyvale may purchase water from sources other than San Francisco, provided that San Francisco shall require that each purchase a minimum annual quantity of water from San Francisco. These Minimum Annual Purchase Quantities are set out in Attachment E and shall also be included in the Individual Water Sales Contracts between San Francisco and each of these four Wholesale Customers. Pursuant to Section 3.04, certain Wholesale Customers may also be required to purchase Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantities, set out in Attachment E-1, from San Francisco. Attachment E will be updated pursuant to Section 3.04 to reflect any reduction in existing Minimum Annual Purchase Quantities and any addition of 94 Item # C8.
18 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
new Minimum Annual Purchase Quantities when Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantities expire and are removed from Attachment E-1; Individual Water Sales Contracts between San Francisco and any Wholesale Customers who are participants in a transfer under Section 3.04 will similarly be amended, as necessary. After the end of each fiscal year, the SFPUC will send a written notice to each Wholesale Customer that is subject to the minimum annual purchase requirements of this section with a copy to BAWSCA. The notice will include: (1) the quantity of water delivered to the Wholesale Customer during the previous fiscal year; (2) whether or not the Wholesale Customer met its minimum annual purchase requirement under this section; (3) any Imputed Sales charged to the Wholesale Customer; and (4) the status of any Temporary Modified Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity of the Wholesale Customer, if applicable. The minimum annual purchase requirements set out in Attachments E and E-1 will be waived during a Drought or other period of water shortage if the water San Francisco makes available to these Wholesale Customers is less than its Minimum Annual Purchase Quantity, and may be waived during a state of emergency declared by the Governor of California that impacts water supply use or deliveries from the Regional Water System.
3.08. Water Quality
A. San Francisco shall deliver treated water to Wholesale Customers (except Coastside County Water District, which receives untreated water from Crystal Springs and Pilarcitos Reservoirs) that complies with primary maximum contaminant level and treatment technique standards at the regulatory entry points designated in the San Francisco Regional Water System Domestic Water Supply Permit (currently Permit No. 02-04-04P3810001) issued by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
B. San Francisco will provide notice to the Wholesale Customers in accordance with the Water Quality Notification and Communications Plan (2019 Update of 2017 Plan, Rev. 6), attached hereto as Attachment G. San Francisco will regularly update its plan in consultation with the Wholesale Customers and the CDPH. The next update will be completed one year after the Effective Date and include expanded coverage of secondary maximum contaminant level exceedances and water quality communication triggers. The plan will note that the Wholesale Customers will receive the same notification no later than the San Francisco water system (currently Permit No. 02-04-01P3810011) except for distribution-related issues.
C. San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers will establish a Water Quality Committee. The Water Quality Committee will meet at least quarterly to collaboratively address 95 Item # C8.
19 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
water quality issues, such as Water Quality Notification and Communications Plan updates, regulatory issues, and water quality planning studies/ applied research. San Francisco and each Wholesale Customer will designate a representative to serve on the committee. There will be a Chair and Vice Chair position for the Water Quality Committee. The Chair and Vice Chair positions will be held by San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers and rotate between them on an annual basis.
3.09. Completion of WSIP
San Francisco will complete construction of the physical facilities in the WSIP by December 30, 2021. The SFPUC agrees to provide for full public review and comment by local and state interests of any proposed changes that delay previously adopted project completion dates or that delete projects. The SFPUC shall meet and consult with BAWSCA before proposing to the Commission any changes in the scope of WSIP projects which reduce their capacity or ability to achieve adopted Level of Service Goals and Objectives. The SFPUC retains discretion to determine whether to approve the physical facilities in the WSIP until after it completes the CEQA process as set forth in Section 4.07.
3.10. Regional Water System Repair, Maintenance and Operation A. San Francisco will keep the Regional Water System in good working order and repair consistent with prudent utility practice.
B. San Francisco will submit reports to its Retail and Wholesale Customers on the "State of the Regional Water System," including reports on completed and planned maintenance, repair or replacement projects or programs, by September of every even- numbered year, with reports to start in September 2010.
C. San Francisco will cooperate with any audit of the SFPUC's asset management practices that may be initiated and financed by BAWSCA or the Wholesale Customers.
BAWSCA may contract with third parties to conduct the audits. San Francisco will consider the findings and recommendations of such audits and will provide a written response indicating agreement with the recommendations, or disagreement with particular recommendations and the reasons why, within 90 calendar days after receipt.
D. San Francisco will continue to operate its reservoirs in a manner that assigns higher priority to the delivery of water to the Bay Area and the environment than to the 96 Item # C8.
20 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
generation of electric power. The SFPUC, as the Regional Water System operator, is solely responsible for making day-to-day operational decisions.
3.11. Shortages
A. Localized Water Reductions. Notwithstanding San Francisco's obligations to deliver the Supply Assurance to the Wholesale Customers collectively and the Individual Supply Guarantees to Wholesale Customers individually, San Francisco may reduce the amount of water available or interrupt water deliveries to specific geographical areas within the Regional Water System service area to the extent that such reductions are necessary due to Emergencies, or in order to install, repair, rehabilitate, replace, investigate or inspect equipment in, or perform other maintenance work on, the Regional Water System. Such reductions or interruptions may be imposed by San Francisco without corresponding reductions or interruptions in the amount of water available to SFPUC water users outside the specific geographical area where reductions or interruptions are necessary, if the system's ability to supply water outside the specific geographical area has not been impaired. In the event of such a reduction or interruption, San Francisco will restore the supply of water to the specific geographical area as soon as is possible. Except in cases of Emergencies (during which oral notice shall be sufficient), San Francisco will give the affected Wholesale Customer(s) reasonable written notice of such localized reductions or interruptions, the reasons therefor, and the probable duration thereof.
B. System-Wide Shortages and SFPUC Response to Regional Emergencies.
Following a major system emergency event, the SFPUC will work closely with its Wholesale Customers to monitor customer demand, including the demand source. In the event that any individual Wholesale Service Area or Retail Service Area customer’s uncontrolled distribution system leaks could result in major water waste and endanger the supply provided by the Regional Water System as a whole, flow through some customer connections may need to be temporarily reduced or terminated. SFPUC will work closely with customers to assess the nature of the demand (e.g. fire-fighting versus leakage), so that public health and safety protection can be given top priority.
1. All emergencies that require use of non-potable source water will require use of chlorine, or other suitable disinfectant, if feasible. 97 Item # C8.
21 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
2. San Francisco will use its best efforts to meet the seismic reliability and delivery reliability Level of Service Goals and Objectives adopted by the Commission in conjunction with the WSIP. San Francisco will distribute water on an equitable basis throughout the Regional Water System service area following a regional Emergency, subject to physical limitations caused by damage to the Regional Water System.
3. San Francisco's response to Emergencies will be guided by the then- current version of the ERRP. The SFPUC shall periodically review, and the Commission may amend, the ERRP to ensure that it remains an up-to-date and effective management tool.
4. The SFPUC will give the Wholesale Customers notice of any proposal to amend the ERRP in a manner that would affect them. The notice will be delivered at least thirty days in advance of the date on which the proposal is to be considered by the Commission and will be accompanied by the text of the proposed amendment.
C. Shortages Caused by Drought; Acquisition of Dry Year Supplies.
Notwithstanding San Francisco's obligations to deliver the Supply Assurance to the Wholesale Customers collectively and the Individual Supply Guarantees to Wholesale Customers individually, San Francisco may reduce the amount of water available to the Wholesale Customers in response to Drought.
1. The Tier 1 Shortage Plan (Attachment H) will c ontinue to be used to allocate water from the Regional Water System between Retail and Wholesale Customers during system-wide shortages of 20% or less.
2. San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers may negotiate in good faith revisions to the Tier 1 Shortage Plan to adjust for and accommodate anticipated changes due to demand hardening in the SFPUC's Wholesale and Retail Service Areas. Until agreement is reached, the current Tier 1 Shortage Plan will remain in effect.
3. The SFPUC will honor allocations of water among the Wholesale Customers (“Tier 2 Allocations”) provided by BAWSCA or if unanimously agreed to by all Wholesale Customers. If BAWSCA or all Wholesale Customers do not provide the SFPUC with Tier 2 Allocations, then the SFPUC may make a final allocation decision after first meeting and discussing allocations with BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers. For Regional Water System shortages in excess of 20%, San Francisco shall (a) follow the Tier 1 Shortage Plan allocations up to the 20% reduction, (b) meet and discuss how to implement incremental 98 Item # C8.
22 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
reductions above 20% with the Wholesale Customers, and (c) make a final determination of allocations above the 20% reduction. After the SFPUC has made the final allocation decision, the Wholesale Customers shall be free to challenge the allocation on any applicable legal or equitable basis.
4. San Francisco will use its best efforts to identify potential sources of dry year water supplies and establish the contractual and other means to access and deliver those supplies in sufficient quantity to meet a goal of not more than 20 percent system-wide shortage in any year of the design drought.
5. San Francisco will cooperate with BAWSCA to improve water supply reliability. As an example of such cooperation, San Francisco may invite a representative of BAWSCA to attend and participate in meetings with third parties for development of dry year water supplies. If San Francisco does not invite a BAWSCA representative to attend a specific scheduled meeting, it will promptly (within 30 days of any such meeting) provide BAWSCA with a written or oral report on the meeting, including any decisions reached at it, as well as information about planned subsequent meetings. Progress in securing dry year water supplies will be reported to the SFPUC and the BAWSCA board of directors during the first quarter of each calendar year.
3.12. Wheeling of Water from Outside SFPUC System
Subject to the Wheeling Statute, the SFPUC will not deny use of Regional Water System unused capacity for wheeling when such capacity is available for wheeling purposes during periods when the SFPUC has declared a water shortage emergency under Water Code Section 350 if the following conditions are met:
A. The transferor pays reasonable charges incurred by the SFPUC as a result of the wheeling, including capital, operation, maintenance, administrative and replacement costs (as such are defined in the Wheeling Statute).
B. Wh
eeled water that is stored in the Regional Water System spills first.
C. Wheeled water will not unreasonably: (1) impact fish and wildlife resources in Regional Water System reservoirs; (2) diminish the quality of water delivered for consumptive uses; or (3) increase the risk of exotic species impairing Regional Water System operations.
The transferor may at its own expense provide for treatment to mitigate these effects. 99 Item # C8.
23 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
D. Priority will be given to wheeling by Wholesale Customers or BAWSCA over arrangements for third-party public entities.
3.13. Limits on New Customers
A. New Wholesale Customers Prior to December 31, 2028. Until December 31, 2028, San Francisco will not enter into contracts to supply water to any entity other than a Wholesale Customer (whether permanent or temporary, firm or interruptible) unless:
1. It completes any necessary environmental review under CEQA of the proposed new wholesale water service obligations as provided in Section 4.07;
2. It concurrently completes any necessary environmental review under CEQA as provided in Section 4.07 and commits to make both San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers with Individual Supply Guarantees equal to at least 9 MGD; and
3. This Agreement is amended to incorporate any commitments to proposed new wholesale customers and to San Jose and Santa Clara, and to address the effects, if any, of the new customer(s) on water supply reliability, water quality and cost to existing customers of the Regional Water System.
B. New Wholesale Customers After December 31, 2028. As of January 1, 2029, San Francisco will not enter into contracts to supply water to any entity other than a Wholesale Customer (whether permanent or temporary, firm or interruptible) unless:
1. It completes any necessary environmental review under CEQA of the proposed new wholesale water service obligations as provided in Section 4.07;
2. It concurrently completes any necessary environmental review under CEQA as provided in Section 4.07 and commits to make both San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers with Individual Supply Guarantees equal to at least 9 MGD;
3. Doing so increases the reliability of the Regional Water System; and
4. This Agreement is concurrently amended (a) to reflect that increased reliability by means of an increased commitment by San Francisco to deliver water during Droughts and (b) to address the effects, if any, of the new customer(s) on water supply, water quality and cost to existing customers of the Regional Water System. 100
Item # C8.
24 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
C. New Retail Customers. San Francisco may enter into new retail water service obligations outside of the City and County of San Francisco:
1. Only in Alameda, San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Joaquin and Tuolumne Counties;
2. That are within or immediately adjacent to areas in which it currently serves other Retail Customers; and
3. Until the aggregate additional demand represented by the new retail customers reaches 0.5 MGD.
The limitations on serving new Retail Customers described in this subsection do not apply to historical obligations to supply water that may be contained in prior agreements between the SFPUC or its predecessor the Spring Valley Water Company, and individual users or property owners located adjacent to Regional Water System transmission pipelines.
D. Water Exchanges and Cost Sharing Agreements with Other Water Suppliers. Subject to completion of necessary environmental review under CEQA, San Francisco may at any time enter into water exchanges or cost sharing agreements with other water suppliers to enhance dry year or normal year water deliveries, provided that San Francisco cannot incur new water service obligations to such other water suppliers unless the requirements for taking on new wholesale customers in subsections A and B above are met.
3.14. Measurement of Water
A. The parties recognize that continuous and accurate measurement of water deliveries to and from the Regional Water System and maintenance of complete and accurate records of those measurements is necessary (1) for the costs of the Regional Water System to be allocated in accordance with this Agreement, (2) for implementation of other provisions of this Agreement, and (3) for effective operation and maintenance of a water system serving a large urbanized region.
B. It is the responsibility of the SFPUC to obtain and record these measurements.
To do so, the SFPUC shall install, maintain and operate measuring and recording equipment at the following locations: (1) inputs to the Regional Water System from all water sources (“System Input Meters”), (2) internal flow meters to support operation of the Regional Water System (“In- Line Meters”), (3) deliveries to the City at the San Francisco-San Mateo County line (“County- 101
Item # C8.
25 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
Line Meters”) and to three reservoirs in San Francisco (“In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters”), (4) deliveries to SFPUC Retail Customers located outside the boundaries of the City, and (5) deliveries to the Wholesale Customers, as described and illustrated in Attachment J.
C. The SFPUC shall inspect, test, service, and calibrate the measuring and recording equipment installed at the locations described in subsection B and will repair or replace them when necessary, in order to ensure that their accuracy is consistent with specifications provided in Attachment J.
D. The SFPUC shall continue to contract with a qualified independent metering consultant to perform periodic inspection, testing, servicing and calibration of the County-Line Meters, the In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters, and the System Input and In-Line Meters described in Attachment J, as well as the portion of the SFPUC’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system that utilizes the flow signals produced by that measuring and recording equipment. The method, schedule and frequency for calibration and maintenance of the County-Line Meters and the In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters are specified in Attachment J. The SFPUC shall provide copies of the metering consultant's reports to BAWSCA.
E. System Input Meters measure water deliveries into the Regional Water System from sources such as Hetch Hetchy and the SFPUC’s water treatment plants. System Input Meters also measure deliveries from the Regional Water System to outside sources or from such sources to the Regional Water System through interties with the Santa Clara Valley Water District and the East Bay Municipal Utility District. In-Line Meters measure internal system flows and are located on the Bay Division Pipelines and other main transmission pipelines. These meters are collectively referred to as the “System Input and In-line Meters.” Similar to the County-Line Meters, the System Input and In-Line Meters have secondary metering equipment, such as differential pressure transmitters and flow recorders. The System Input and In-Line Meters, and all associated secondary metering equipment, shall be calibrated and maintained according to the method, schedule, and frequency specified in the Procedures Manual described in subsection G, below.
F. The locations of the smaller and more numerous meters described in subsection B (4) and (5) are not illustrated in Attachment J; however, they are also critical in the determination of cost allocations, and accordingly require continued maintenance and 102
Item # C8.
26 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
calibration. It is the responsibility of the SFPUC to maintain the accuracy of these meters and their secondary metering equipment.
G. The SFPUC will prepare a Procedures Manual which will describe in detail the procedures for periodic inspection, testing, servicing and calibration of the measuring and recording equipment described in subsection B. Once the Procedures Manual is completed, the SFPUC and BAWSCA may agree that it should supersede some or all of the requirements in Attachment J regarding the County-Line and the In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters. Unless and until such an agreement is reached and documented, however, the requirements in Attachment J, Section D will continue in force as minimum standards for meter maintenance and calibration of the County-Line and In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters (subject to modification under the circumstances described in Attachment J, Section A.4).
H. If BAWSCA and the SFPUC are unable to agree on the water use calculations required by Attachment J for a particular year, the Wholesale Customers may file a demand for arbitration challenging the SFPUC's determination of the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for that year on the basis of its reliance on disputed water use calculations. Such a challenge must be brought in the manner and within the time specified in Section 8.01.
3.15. New Sources of Water Supply to Maintain Supply Assurance A. Urgent Reductions of Existing Surface Water Supplies. Sudden and unanticipated events may require San Francisco to act promptly to protect the health, safety and economic well-being of its Retail and Wholesale Customers. Such sudden events include, but are not limited to drought, earthquakes, terrorist acts, catastrophic failures of facilities owned and operated by San Francisco, and other natural or man-made events. If such events diminish San Francisco’s ability to maintain the Supply Assurance, San Francisco may increase the Wholesale Revenue Requirement to pay for planning, evaluation and implementation of replacement sources of supply when such needs arise and without the prior approval of the Wholesale Customers. San Francisco will keep the Wholesale Customers informed of actions being taken under this subsection, progress made, and contingency actions the Wholesale Customers may need to consider taking. To the extent appropriate and applicable, San Francisco will act in accordance with Section 3.11 and the ERRP. Nothing in this subsection limits San Francisco’s obligations under Section 3.11 to pursue additional sources of supply to augment supplies available during drought.

27 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
B. Non-Urgent Reductions of Existing Surface Water Supplies. Climate change, regulatory actions and other events may impact San Francisco’s ability to maintain the Supply Assurance from its existing surface water supplies, but on timescales long enough to permit San Francisco to collaborate with its Wholesale Customers on how best to address possible impacts to water supply. If such events diminish San Francisco’s ability to maintain the Supply Assurance, San Francisco may increase the Wholesale Revenue Requirement to pay for planning, evaluation and implementation of replacement sources of supply when such needs arise and without the prior approval of the Wholesale Customers. San Francisco will keep the Wholesale Customers informed of actions being taken under this subsection, progress made, and contingency actions the Wholesale Customers may need to consider taking. San Francisco will solicit input and recommendations from BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers, and take those recommendations into consideration. Prior to Commission approval of plans or taking other actions that would impact the Wholesale Revenue Requirement, San Francisco will hold a public hearing to receive written and oral comments. Nothing in this subsection modifies San Francisco’s obligation to maintain the ability to provide the Supply Assurance under this Agreement.
3.16. New Sources of Water Supply to Increase Supply Assurance A. Surface Water Supplies From Existing Watersheds After 2018. The Commission action in SFPUC Resolution Number 08-0200, adopted October 30, 2008 requires certain decisions by San Francisco regarding whether to supply more than 265 MGD from its watersheds following 2018. Such decisions are to be made by December 31, 2018, subject to the exercise of San Francisco's retained CEQA discretion in Section 4.07. San Francisco's future decisions may include an offer to increase the Supply Assurance at the request of some or all of its Wholesale Customers. Costs associated with providing additional water from its existing water supplies in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Tuolumne, and Stanislaus Counties shall be allocated to Wholesale and Retail Customers as described in Article 5.
B. New Water Supplies. If San Francisco seeks to develop additional water supplies from new sources to increase the Supply Assurance available to Wholesale Customers, studies and resulting water supply projects will be conducted jointly with BAWSCA under separate agreement(s) specifying the purpose of the projects, the anticipated regional benefits and how costs of studies and implementation will be allocated and charged. Nothing in this Agreement shall serve as precedent for the allocation of such new supply capital costs 104
Item # C8.
28 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
between Retail and Wholesale Customers or associated operational expenses, which shall only occur following approval of both parties and amendment of this Agreement, if necessary, under Section 2.03.
3.17. Westside Basin Groundwater Storage and Recovery Project In August 2014, the SFPUC approved a WSIP project called the Groundwater Storage and Recovery Project (“Project”), which authorized the SFPUC to enter into an agreement governing the operation of the Project with the Participating Pumpers entitled “Agreement for Groundwater Storage and Recovery from the Southern Portion of the Westside Groundwater Basin by and among the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the City of Daly City, the City of San Bruno, and California Water Service Company” (“Project Operating Agreement”), which became effective on December 16, 2014. The Project produces Regional benefits for all customers of the Regional Water System by making use of available groundwater storage capacity in the Southern portion of the Westside Basin through the supply of additional surface water (“In Lieu Water”) to the Participating Pumpers from the Regional Water System, in exchange for a corresponding reduction in groundwater pumping at existing wells owned by the Participating Pumpers. The new groundwater supply that accrues to storage as a result of delivery of In Lieu Water will be recovered from the SFPUC Storage Account during water shortages using new Regional Project Facilities or Shared Facilities operated by the Participating Pumpers and the SFPUC. Project mitigation capital costs and annual Project operations and maintenance expenses and water supplies shall be allocated as follows:
A. All In Lieu Water delivered to the Participating Pumpers shall be (1) temporary and interruptible in nature and (2) at the sole discretion of the SFPUC based on the total volume of water available to the Regional Water System.
B. All In Lieu Water delivered to the Participating Pumpers shall be considered a delivery of water to storage and shall not be construed to affect or increase the Individual Supply Guarantees of these Wholesale Customers or to otherwise entitle them to any claim of water in excess of their Individual Supply Guarantees.
C. In the event that it is necessary to reduce the Participating Pumpers’ aggregate designated quantity of groundwater production allocation pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Project Operating Agreement, the SFPUC may supply an annual maximum of up to 500 acre feet of Participating Pumper Replacement Water from the Regional Water System at a price 105
Item # C8.
29 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
comparable to the Participating Pumpers’ then-current groundwater cost, as may be adjusted annually as provided for in Section 4.7 of the Project Operating Agreement. Each of the Participating Pumpers may elect to take delivery of its share of Participating Pumper Replacement Water either as interruptible surface water deliveries from the Regional Water System or as a transfer of storage credits from the SFPUC Storage Account. All revenue received from such water sales or transfers shall be considered revenue related to the sale of water and allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Water Use. All volumes of Participating Pumper Replacement Water delivered shall not be construed to affect or increase the Individual Supply Guarantees of these Wholesale Customers or to otherwise entitle them to any claim of water in excess of their Individual Supply Guarantees.
D. Any operation and maintenance expenses incurred by the Participating Pumpers and the SFPUC that are related to the operation of Project Facilities and Shared Facilities for Project purposes shall be included as Regional pumping expenses under Section 5.05.B of this Agreement and included as part of the Wholesale Revenue Requirement. For rate setting purposes, estimated Project operation and maintenance expenses shall be used as set forth in Section 6.01 of this Agreement. Operation and maintenance expenses associated with the Participating Pumpers' Existing Facilities that do not provide Regional benefits shall not be included in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement. On a case-by-case basis, the SFPUC may include operation and maintenance expenses associated operation of the Participating Pumpers’ Existing Facilities in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement provided that such expenses (1) are solely attributable to Project operations for a Regional benefit and (2) are not caused by the Participating Pumper's failure to operate and maintain its existing wells in a reasonable and prudent manner consistent with water utility industry standards. The SFPUC shall provide the Wholesale Customers with copies of Project Operation and Maintenance Expenses documentation provided by the Participating Pumpers under Section 9.2 of the Project Operating Agreement.
E. The Project Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) adopted by the SFPUC included mitigation measure HY-6 to prevent well interference impacts to the Irrigation Well Owners. In mitigation measure HY-6, the SFPUC agreed to provide standby supplies of Irrigation Well Owner Replacement Water from the Regional Water System, to alter Project operations, and implement other actions (e.g., well replacement) to avoid well interference impacts that require the consent of the Irrigation Well Owners. The SFPUC’s 106
Item # C8.
30 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
Project mitigation and other obligations to the Irrigation Well Owners are memorialized in substantially identical “Groundwater Well Monitoring and Mitigation Agreements” with one or more of the Irrigation Well Owners. For purposes of this Agreement, water supplies, and the capital costs and operations and maintenance expenses associated with providing Irrigation Well Owner Replacement Water and implementing other mitigation actions identified in the Project MMRP, shall be allocated as follows:
1. Irrigation Well Owner Replacement Water shall be limited to a cumulative maximum of 1.76 mgd and shall be delivered only in volumes necessary for mitigating well interference impacts as provided in the Project MMRP. The supply of Irrigation Well Owner Replacement Water by the SFPUC shall not be considered a new water supply commitment to Retail Customers or Wholesale Customers under Section 3.13 of this Agreement. The annual volume of Irrigation Well Owner Replacement Water supplied shall be metered and allocated as water from the Regional Water System during shortages between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers in proportion to and consistent with the provisions of the Shortage Allocation Plan. All revenue received from Irrigation Well Owners for metered deliveries of Irrigation Well Owner Replacement Water shall be considered revenue related to the sale of water and allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Water Use.
2. All Project capital costs incurred by the SFPUC in complying with the mitigation measures in the Project MMRP shall be considered Regional capital costs under Section 5.04 of this Agreement.
3. Operations and maintenance expenses incurred by the SFPUC in maintaining Project mitigation assets described in the Project MMRP shall be considered Regional transmission and distribution expenses under Section 5.05.D of this Agreement. Well pumping expenses that are required to be paid by the SFPUC in the agreements with the Irrigation Well Owners shall be considered Regional pumping expenses under Section 5.05.B of this Agreement.
4. Any wheeling charges imposed by California Water Service Company for delivery of Irrigation Well Owner Replacement Water shall be considered Regional transmission and distribution expenses under Section 5.05.D of this Agreement.
F. The SFPUC will audit (1) operation and maintenance expenses submitted by the Participating Pumpers, and (2) well pumping expenses submitted by the Irrigation Well Owners, 107
Item # C8.
31 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
for reimbursement to confirm that such costs were incurred, respectively, as a result of (1) operating Project Facilities and Shared Facilities for a Regional benefit and (2) complying with mitigation obligations in the Project MMRP. Costs associated with the use of Project Facilities or Shared Facilities for Direct Retail or Direct Wholesale purposes, or that do not otherwise provide Regional benefits, shall not be included in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement. The SFPUC is responsible for resolving disputes with the Participating Pumpers and Irrigation Well Owners concerning expense allocations. Project expense documentation, including documentation of negotiation and settlement of disputed costs, will be available for review during the Compliance Audit described in Section 7.04 of this Agreement. The Wholesale Customers may dispute the SFPUC’s resolution of expense allocations through the arbitration provisions in Section 8.01 of this Agreement.
G. The SFPUC may direct the Participating Pumpers to recover water from the SFPUC Storage Account for any type of shortage referenced in Section 3.11 of this Agreement.
Water recovered from the SFPUC Storage Account using Project Facilities and Shared Facilities may be used for (1) the benefit of all Regional Water System customers; (2) Retail Customers; or (3) one or more of the Participating Pumpers. The Wholesale Revenue Requirement shall only include operation and maintenance expenses incurred due to the operation of Project Facilities and Shared Facilities for Regional benefits, including expenses incurred due to compliance with mitigation measures in the Project MMRP.
H. All water recovered during shortages caused by drought from the SFPUC Storage Account for Regional benefit, by the Participating Pumpers and by the SFPUC for delivery to Retail and Wholesale Customers, shall be used to free up a comparable volume of surface water from the Regional Water System for allocation in accordance with the Tier 1 Shortage Plan.
I. If the Project is terminated for any reason, including breach of the Project Operating Agreement by one or more of the Participating Pumpers or the SFPUC, a force majeure event as specifically defined by the Project Operating Agreement, or due to regulatory action or legal action, then:
1. Any water remaining in the SFPUC Storage Account shall be used for the benefit of all customers of the Regional Water System;
108
Item # C8.
32 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
2. Outstanding eligible operation and maintenance expenses, including costs incurred during recovery of remaining stored water, will be allocated as provided in this Section 3.17 of this Agreement; and
3. If Project Facilities are no longer capable of being used for a Regional benefit, the Wholesale Customers will be credited with their share of proceeds from disposition of Project Facilities or reimbursed their share of such capital costs for any Project Facilities which are retained by the SFPUC for Direct Retail benefit and not used for the benefit of the Wholesale Customers, on the basis of (a) original cost less depreciation and outstanding related Indebtedness or (b) original cost less accumulated depreciation for revenue funded Project Facilities.
J. In the event that a Participating Pumper establishes the occurrence of a force majeure event as defined in the Project Operating Agreement, the SFPUC may enter into negotiations with the Participating Pumper to take over the operation of the portion of any Shared Facilities used for Project purposes for continued Regional use. If the SFPUC cannot reach agreement regarding the continued use of Shared Facilities for ongoing Regional benefit, the Participating Pumper shall reimburse the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers for their respective shares of previously incurred Project capital costs used to upgrade the Shared Facilities on the basis of (a) original cost less depreciation and outstanding related Indebtedness or (b) original cost less accumulated depreciation for revenue funded Shared Facilities. In the event that the SFPUC seeks to take over the operation of Shared Facilities for Direct Retail use, or one or more Wholesale Customers seeks to negotiate with a Participating Pumper to take over the operation of Shared Facilities for individual use or Direct Wholesale use, the party or parties benefiting from such transfer of Shared Facilities shall reimburse the other parties to this Agreement with their respective shares of previously incurred Project capital costs on the basis described in the previous sentence, or as the parties may otherwise agree.
3.18. Water Supply Agreement Amendment Required.
San Francisco may not change the existing condition of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir by:
1. Abandoning or decommissioning O'Shaughnessy Dam; or
2. Draining Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, except for purposes of (i) repair, rehabilitation, maintenance, improvement, or reconstruction of O'Shaughnessy Dam or appurtenances, (ii) supplying water to the Bay 109

Article 4. Implementation of Interim Supply Limitation.
4.01. Interim Supply Limitation Imposed by SFPUC
In adopting the WSIP in Res. No. 08-0200, the Commission included full implementation of all proposed WSIP capital improvement projects to achieve Level of Service Goals and Objectives relating to public health, seismic safety, and delivery reliability, but decided to adopt a water supply element that includes the Interim Supply Limitation. This article describes how the parties will implement the Interim Supply Limitation imposed by the SFPUC between the Effective Date and December 31, 2018, and how the SFPUC will conduct water supply planning after December 31, 2018.
4.02. Retail and Wholesale Customer Allocations Under Interim Supply Limitation The Interim Supply Limitation is allocated as follows between Retail and Wholesale Customers:
Retail Customers' allocation: 81 MGD
Wholesale Customers' allocation: 184 MGD
The Wholesale Customers' collective allocation of 184 MGD under the Interim Supply Limitation includes the demand of the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara, whose demand is not included in the Supply Assurance, as provided in Section 3.02.B. By December 31st, 2010, the Commission will establish each Wholesale Customer's Interim Supply Allocation at a public meeting.
4.03. Transfers of Interim Supply Allocations
A. Any Wholesale Customer, including Hayward, may transfer a portion of its Interim Supply Allocation to one or more other Wholesale Customers, as provided in this section. All Wholesale Customers are also eligible transferees, including California Water Service Company up to its Individual Supply Guarantee.
B. Transfers of a portion of an Interim Supply Allocation must be prospective. The duration of a transfer cannot be less than the balance of the fiscal year. The minimum quantity that may be transferred is 1/10th of a MGD.
C. Transfers of portions of Interim Supply Allocations are subject to approval by the SFPUC. SFPUC review is limited to determining (1) whether a proposed transfer complies with 111
Item # C8.
35 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
the Act, and (2) whether the affected facilities in the Regional Water System have sufficient capacity to accommodate delivery of the increased amount of water to the proposed transferee.
D. The participants in a proposed transfer shall provide notice to the SFPUC specifying the amount of the Interim Supply Allocation proposed to be transferred and the proposed effective date of the transfer, which shall not be less than 60 days after the notice is submitted to the SFPUC. The SFPUC may require additional information reasonably necessary to evaluate the operational impacts of the transfer. The SFPUC will not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval; if the SFPUC does not act on the notice within 60 days, the transfer will be deemed to have been approved.
E. Within 30 days after the transfer has become effective, both the transferor and the transferee will provide written notice to the SFPUC and BAWSCA.
F. Transfers of Interim Supply Allocations shall continue in effect until the earlier of (1) delivery of written notice to the SFPUC by the transfer participants that the transfer has been rescinded or (2) December 31, 2018.
4.04. Environmental Enhancement Surcharge
A. Establishment of Environmental Enhancement Surcharge. Beginning with wholesale water rates for fiscal year 2011-2012, and continuing for the duration of the Interim Supply Limitation, the Commission will establish the Environmental Enhancement Surcharge concurrently with the budget-coordinated rate process set forth in Article 6 of this Agreement.
The monetary amount of the Environmental Enhancement Surcharge per volume of water, such as dollars per acre-foot, will be equivalent for Retail Customer use in excess of 81 MGD and Wholesale Customer use in excess of 184 MGD. The Environmental Enhancement Surcharge will be simple to calculate so that Wholesale Customers can estimate potential surcharges for budgeting purposes and establish retail rates within their service areas.
B. Application of Environmental Enhancement Surcharge. Beginning in fiscal year 2011-12, the Environmental Enhancement Surcharge will be levied only if and when combined Retail Customer and Wholesale Customer purchases exceed the Interim Supply Limitation of 265 MGD and if the fund described in subsection D below has been established by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. In that event, the Environmental Enhancement Surcharge will apply to Retail Customers for use in excess of 81 MGD and to individual 112
Item # C8.
36 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
Wholesale Customers for use in excess of their Interim Supply Allocations established by the Commission pursuant to Section 4.02.
1. Environmental Enhancement Surcharges related to the Retail Customers’ use in excess of their 81 MGD Retail Customer Allocation will be paid by the SFPUC, and no portion of such surcharges may be allocated to Wholesale Customers. The method of recovering the Environmental Enhancement Surcharges imposed upon Retail Customers shall be within the sole discretion of the SFPUC.
2. Environmental Enhancement Surcharges related to the individual Wholesale Customers’ use in excess of their respective Interim Supply Allocations will be paid to the SFPUC by individual Wholesale Customers.
C. Collection of Environmental Enhancement Surcharge. Notwithstanding the budget-coordinated rate setting process contemplated in Article 6 of this Agreement, the Environmental Enhancement Surcharge for any given year will be determined retrospectively based on actual annual usage during the fiscal year in excess of the Interim Supply Allocation and paid in equal monthly installments over the remainder of the immediately following fiscal year.
D. Establishment of Fund for Environmental Enhancement Surcharge Proceeds. Environmental Enhancement Surcharges paid by the SFPUC and by Wholesale Customers will be placed into a restricted reserve fund. The SFPUC will request the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to establish this fund by ordinance and, if adopted, the fund will be subject to the following restrictions:
1. Interest earnings will stay in the reserve fund.
2. The reserve fund shall (a) be subject to automatic appropriation; (b) require unexpended and unencumbered fund balances to be carried forward from year to year; and (c) not be transferred to the San Francisco General Fund.
3. The reserve fund may be used only for specific environmental restoration and enhancement measures for the Sierra and local watersheds, such as those included in the Watershed Environmental Improvement Program.
4. Environmental Enhancement Surcharge proceeds shall be expended in an expeditious manner. Any Environmental Enhancement Surcharge 113
Item # C8.
37 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
proceeds that remain in the reserve fund as of December 31, 2018 shall be used to complete projects previously approved under subsection E.
Upon completion of the identified projects, the balance of any unexpended sums in the reserve fund shall be distributed to BAWSCA and the SFPUC in proportion to the total amount of surcharges assessed to the Wholesale and Retail Customers, respectively.
E. Use of Environmental Enhancement Surcharge Proceeds. Specific uses of Environmental Enhancement Surcharges will be decided by the SFPUC and BAWSCA General Managers following input from environmental stakeholders and other interested members of the public. If parties are unable to agree, then they will jointly select a third person to participate in making the decision.
4.05. San Jose/ Santa Clara Interim Supply Allocation and Process for Reduction/ Termination.
San Francisco will supply a combined annual average of 9 MGD to the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara through 2028. Water supplied by San Francisco may only be used in the defined service areas of San Jose and Santa Clara shown on Attachment Q-1 and Q-2, respectively. San Francisco may reduce the quantity of water specified in this section when it establishes the Interim Supply Allocations for Wholesale Customers in Section 4.02. The establishment of Interim Supply Allocations for San Jose and Santa Clara shall not be considered a reduction of supply within the meaning of this section, provided that the Interim Supply Allocations assigned to San Jose and Santa Clara do not effect a reduction greater than the aggregate average reduction in Individual Supply Guarantees for Wholesale Customers that have such guarantees. The application of Interim Supply Allocations to San Jose and Santa Clara, and water supply planning after December 31, 2018, are subject to the following provisions:
A. In December 2010 and in each December thereafter through 2027, the SFPUC shall prepare and the Commission shall consider, at a regularly scheduled public meeting, a Water Supply Development Report detailing progress made toward (1) meeting the Interim Supply Limitation by June 30, 2018 and (2) developing additional water supplies that will allow the Commission to designate San Jose and Santa Clara as permanent Wholesale Customers of the Regional Water System with a combined Individual Supply Guarantee of up to 9 MGD by the end of the Term on June 30, 2034.
114
Item # C8.
38 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
B. The annual Water Supply Development Report shall be based on water purchase projections and work plans prepared by the SFPUC for the Retail Customers and by BAWSCA for the Wholesale Customers, respectively, and submitted to the Commission in June of each year beginning in 2010.
C. If the Commission finds that the projections in the Water Supply Development Report show that (1) the Interim Supply Limitation will not be met by June 30, 2018, as a result of Wholesale Customers' projected use exceeding 184 MGD, or (2) the purchases of the Wholesale Customers, including San Jose and Santa Clara, are projected to exceed 184 MGD before June 30, 2028, the Commission may issue a conditional ten year notice of interruption or reduction in supply of water to San Jose and Santa Clara.
D. Upon issuance of the conditional notice of interruption or reduction, the SFPUC will prepare a new analysis of water supply that will be utilized by the San Francisco Planning Department in its preparation of any necessary documentation under CEQA pursuant to Section
4.07 on the impacts of interrupting or reducing service to San Jose and Santa Clara.
E. Such notice of interruption or reduction will be rescinded if the Commission finds, based upon a subsequent annual Water Supply Development Report, that (1) sufficient progress has been made toward meeting the Interim Supply Limitation, or (2) projections show that the projected purchases of the Wholesale Customers, including San Jose and Santa Clara, will not exceed 184 MGD by June 30, 2028.
F. In no case shall any interruption or reduction of service to San Jose or Santa Clara pursuant to this section become effective less than two years from the completion of the CEQA process (not including resolution of any appeals or litigation) or ten years from the notice, whichever is longer. If the ten year notice is issued after 2018, such interruption or reduction would be effective after 2028.
G. If deliveries to San Jose and Santa Clara are interrupted, existing turnout facilities to San Jose and Santa Clara will remain in place for possible use during emergencies.
H. San Francisco and the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara will cooperate with BAWSCA and the Santa Clara Valley Water District in the identification and implementation of additional water sources and conservation measures for the cities’ service areas that are 115
Item # C8.
39 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
relevant to the water supply and the possible offer of permanent status for the two cities by the SFPUC.
4.06. San Francisco Decisions in 2028 Regarding Future Water Supply A. By December 31, 2028, San Francisco will have completed any necessary CEQA review pursuant to Section 4.07 that is relevant to making San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers of the Regional Water System and will decide whether or not to make San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers of the Regional Water System with a combined Individual Supply Guarantee of 9 MGD allocated equally between the two cities, as well as how much water in excess of 9 MGD it will supply to San Jose and Santa Clara. San Francisco will make San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers only if, and to the extent that, San Francisco determines that Regional Water System long term water supplies are available. In the event that San Francisco decides to afford permanent status to San Jose and Santa Clara, this Agreement will be amended pursuant to Section 2.03.
B. By December 31, 2028, San Francisco will have completed any necessary CEQA review pursuant to Section 4.07 and will decide how much water, if any, in excess of the Supply Assurance it will supply to Wholesale Customers from the Regional Water System to meet their projected future water demands until the year 2040, and whether to offer a corresponding increase in the Supply Assurance as a result of these determinations.
4.07. Retained Discretion of SFPUC and Wholesale Customers A. This Agreement contemplates discretionary actions that the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers may choose to take in the future that could result in physical changes to the environment ("Discretionary Actions"). The Discretionary Actions include decisions to:
1. Develop additional or alternate water resources by the SFPUC or one or more Wholesale Customers;
2. Implement the physical facilities comprising the WSIP by December 30, 2021;
3. Approve wheeling proposals by Wholesale Customers;
4. Approve new wholesale customers and water exchange or cost sharing agreements with other water suppliers;
5. Provide additional water to San Jose and/or Santa Clara;
6. Offer permanent status to San Jose and/or Santa Clara; 116
Item # C8.
40 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
7. R
educe or terminate supply to San Jose and/or Santa Clara;
8. Provide additional water to Wholesale Customers in excess of the Supply Assurance to meet their projected future water demands;
9. Offer a corresponding volumetric increase in the Supply Assurance; and
10. Implement the Hetch Hetchy Water and Power projects listed in A
ttachment R-2.
The Discretionary Actions may require the SFPUC or Wholesale Customers to prepare environmental documents in accordance with CEQA prior to the SFPUC or the Wholesale Customers determining whether to proceed with any of the Discretionary Actions. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement commits the SFPUC or the Wholesale Customers to approve or carry out any Discretionary Actions that are subject to CEQA. Furthermore, the SFPUC’s or Wholesale Customers’ decisions to approve any of these Discretionary Actions are subject to the requirement that San Francisco and each Wholesale Customer, as either a “Lead Agency” (as defined in Section 21067 of CEQA and Section 15367 of the CEQA Guidelines) or a “Responsible Agency” (as defined in Section 21069 of CEQA and Section 15381 of the CEQA Guidelines) shall have completed any CEQA-required environmental review prior to approving a proposed Discretionary Action.
B. I
n considering any proposed Discretionary Actions, the SFPUC and Wholesale C
ustomers retain absolute discretion to: (1) make such modifications to any of the proposed Discretionary Actions as may be necessary to mitigate significant environmental impacts; (2) select feasible alternatives to the proposed Discretionary Actions that avoid significant adverse impacts; (3) require the implementation of specific measures to mitigate the significant adverse environmental impacts as part of the decision to approve the Discretionary Actions; (4) balance the benefits of the proposed Discretionary Actions against any significant environmental impacts before taking final actions to approve the proposed Discretionary Actions if such significant impacts cannot otherwise be avoided; or (5) determine not to proceed with the proposed Discretionary Actions.

Article 5. Wholesale Revenue Requirement
5.01. Scope of Agreement
This Article shall be applicable only to the water rates charged by San Francisco to the Wholesale Customers. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit, constrain, or in any way affect the rates which San Francisco may charge for water sold to Retail Customers or the methodology by which such rates are determined.
5.02. General Principles
This Article sets forth the method by which the Wholesale Customers’ collective share of expenses incurred by the SFPUC in delivering water to them will be determined. This collective share is defined as the “Wholesale Revenue Requirement.” A. The SFPUC currently operates several enterprises, including the Water Enterprise, the Wastewater Enterprise, and the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise.
B. The Wastewater Enterprise is responsible for treating sewage within San Francisco and provides no benefit to the Wholesale Customers.
C. The Hetch Hetchy Enterprise is responsible for storing and transmitting water to the Water Enterprise, generating hydroelectric power and transmitting it to San Francisco, generating electric power within San Francisco, and distributing electricity and steam heat within San Francisco. Its water supply operations provide benefits to the Wholesale Customers.
D. The Water Enterprise delivers water to both Retail Customers, which are located both within and outside San Francisco, and to the Wholesale Customers, all of which are located outside San Francisco.
E. This Article implements two general principles as follows: (1) the Wholesale Customers should not pay for expenses of SFPUC operations from which they receive no benefit and (2) the Wholesale Customers should pay their share of expenses incurred by the SFPUC in delivering water to them on the basis of Proportional Annual Use unless otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement.
F. To implement these general principles, the Wholesale Revenue Requirement will consist of, and be limited to, the Wholesale Customers’ shares of the following categories of expense:
118

5.03. Capital Cost Recovery - Existing Regional Assets
A. SFPUC has previously advanced funds to acquire or construct Existing Assets used and useful in the delivery of water to both Wholesale Customers and Retail Customers.
The parties estimate that the Wholesale Customers’ share of the net book value of these assets, as of the expiration of the 1984 Agreement on June 30, 2009, will be approximately $366,734,424, as shown on Attachment K-1.
B. In addition, SFPUC has also previously advanced funds received from Retail Customer revenues to acquire or construct assets included in Construction-Work-In-Progress (CWIP) as of June 30, 2009. The parties estimate that the Wholesale Customers’ share of the book value of these revenue funded capital expenditures, as of the expiration of the 1984 Agreement on June 30, 2009, will be approximately $15,594,990, as shown on Attachment K-2.
The Wholesale Customers shall pay their share of the cost of Existing Assets and revenue- funded CWIP by amortizing the amounts shown on Attachment K-1 and Attachment K-2 over 25 years at an interest rate of 5.13 percent. The amounts to be included in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement pursuant to this section shall be the sum of the annual principal and interest amounts shown on Attachments K-3 (for Water Enterprise Regional Assets and the one Direct Wholesale Asset) and K-4 (for Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Water-Only Assets and the Water-Related portion [45 percent] of Joint assets) calculated on the basis of monthly amortization of principal as set forth on Attachments K-3 and K-4.
C. In addition, the Commission has previously appropriated funds, advanced through rates charged to Retail Customers, for construction of capital projects. Some of these projects are active, and have unexpended balances of appropriated funds that are not included in CWIP as of June 30, 2009. These projects, and the associated balances, are shown on Attachment K-5. Expenditures of funds from these balances during FY 2009-10, FY 2010-11 and FY 2011-12 will be reviewed in FY 2012-13. The SFPUC will prepare a report showing the amount expended in each year on each project and the total expended during all years on all projects that are categorized as Regional or, in the case of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise, are categorized as either Water-Only or Joint. The wholesale share of that total will be determined using the allocation principles in this Agreement based on Proportional Water Use during those three years. The result, plus accrued interest at the rate specified in Section 6.05.B, will be calculated by the SFPUC and its calculation reviewed by the Compliance Auditor as part of the Compliance Audit for FY 2012-13. The audited total will be paid based on a schedule of level 120
Item # C8.
44 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
annual principal and interest amounts over ten years at an interest rate of 4.00%, calculated on a monthly amortization basis. All or any portion of the balance may be prepaid. The first year’s payment will be included in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for FY 2014-15.
D. The parties agree that the Wholesale Customers’ share of the net book values of Existing Regional Assets as of June 30, 2008 as shown on Attachment K-1 are accurate. The compliance audit conducted on the calculation of the FY 2008-09 Suburban Revenue Requirement required by the 1984 Agreement will determine the actual amounts of depreciation on, and capital additions to, plant in service during that fiscal year. Those amounts will be compared to the corresponding estimates shown on Attachments K-1 and K-2. The differences will be added to or subtracted from the estimated asset values shown on Attachments K-1 and K-2 and the amortization schedules in Attachments K-3 and K-4 will be recalculated. The wholesale allocation factors shall be fixed at 70.1% for the Water Enterprise Existing Assets and
64.2% for Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Existing Assets for both the preliminary and final payment schedules. The SFPUC will prepare and provide to the Wholesale Customers revised Attachments K-1 through K-4 based on the Wholesale Customers’ share of the net book value of the assets placed in service as of June 30, 2009 used to provide water service to the Wholesale Customers and the net book value of revenue-funded CWIP expended as of June 30, 2009. The revised Attachments K-1 through K-4 shall be approved by the General Manager of the SFPUC and the General Manager/CEO of BAWSCA and will be substituted for the original Attachments K-1 through K-4.
E. The original Attachments K-1 through K-4, based on estimates, shall be used for estimating the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. The revised Attachments, based on audited actuals, shall be used to determine the actual Wholesale Revenue Requirement for FY 2009-10 and to determine the Wholesale Revenue Requirement(s) in all subsequent years, except as may be provided elsewhere in this Agreement.
F. The Wholesale Customers, acting through BAWSCA, may prepay the remaining unpaid Existing Assets principal balance, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or early payment premium. Any prepayments will be applied in the month immediately following the month in which the prepayment is made and the revised monthly amount(s) will be used to calculate the Wholesale Revenue Requirement. Any partial prepayments must be in an amount at least equal to $10 million. In the event of a partial prepayment, an updated schedule for the 121
Item # C8.
45 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
remaining payments shall be prepared reflecting the unpaid balance after prepayment, amortized through the end of FY 2034, calculated as provided in this section. The updated schedule, approved by the General Manager of the SFPUC and the General Manager/CEO of BAWSCA, will be substituted for Attachment K-3 and/or Attachment K-4.
5.04. Capital Cost Contribution - New Regional Assets
A. Debt-Funded Capital Additions. The Wholesale Customers shall pay the wholesale share of Net Annual Debt Service for New Regional Assets. The Regional projects in the WSIP are identified in Attachment L-1.
1. The amount of Net Annual Debt Service for New Regional Assets will be determined for each series of Indebtedness issued. Until the proceeds of a particular series are Substantially Expended, the amount attributable to specific projects will be based on the expected use of proceeds shown in the “Certificate Regarding Use of Proceeds” executed by the SFPUC General Manager on behalf of the Commission in connection with the sale of the Indebtedness, provided such certificate identifies the use of proceeds at a level of detail equivalent to that shown on Attachment L-2, which is a copy of the certificate prepared for the 2006 Revenue Bonds, Series A. If a certificate does not identify the use of proceeds at that level of detail, the SFPUC General Manager shall prepare and execute a separate certificate which does identify the use of proceeds at the level of detail shown on Attachment L-2 and deliver it to BAWSCA within 15 days from the closing of the sale of the Indebtedness.
2. After the proceeds of a series are Substantially Expended, the SFPUC General Manager will prepare and execute a certificate showing the actual expenditure of proceeds at a level of detail equivalent to the initial General Manager certificate. The resulting allocation of Net Debt Service to New Regional Assets for a series of bonds will be used in the fiscal year in which the proceeds have been Substantially Expended and thereafter. Differences between the amount of Net Debt Service paid by Wholesale Customers prior to that year and the amount of Net Debt Service that they should have paid during that time based on the actual expenditure of proceeds will be taken into account in calculation of the balancing account for the fiscal year in which the proceeds were Substantially Expended. The application of the remaining proceeds shall be proportionate to the allocation of the Net Debt Service to New Regional Assets.
3. The Wholesale Customers’ share of Net Annual Debt Service for the New Regional Assets that are categorized as Direct Wholesale will be 100 percent. (None of the 122
Item # C8.
46 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
projects in the WSIP are categorized as Direct Wholesale.) The Wholesale Customers’ share of Net Annual Debt Service for all other New Regional Assets will be determined each year and will be equal to the Wholesale Customers’ Proportional Annual Use.
4. If Indebtedness is issued by the SFPUC to refund the 2006 Revenue Bonds, Series A or to refund any other long-term Indebtedness issued after July 1, 2009, the Net Annual Debt Service attributable to proceeds used for refunding will be allocated on the same basis as the Indebtedness being refunded.
5. The SFPUC will prepare an annual report showing for each issue of Indebtedness and through the most recently completed fiscal year: (1) net financing proceeds available to pay project costs, (2) actual earnings on proceeds, (3) actual expenditures by project. The report shall be substantially in the form of Attachment L-3 and shall be delivered to BAWSCA on or before November 30 of each year, commencing November 2009.
6. In addition to Net Debt Service, Wholesale Customers will pay a proportionate share of annual administrative costs associated with Indebtedness, such as bond trustee fees, credit rating agency fees, letter of credit issuer fees, San Francisco Revenue Bond Oversight Committee fees, etc., but only to the extent such fees are neither paid from proceeds of Indebtedness nor included in SFPUC operation and maintenance or administrative and general expenses.
B. Revenue-Funded Capital Additions. The Wholesale Customers shall pay the wholesale share of the appropriation contained in the SFPUC annual budget for each year to be used to acquire or construct New Regional Assets. If such appropriations are reimbursed from proceeds of Indebtedness, the Wholesale Customers will be credited for prior payments made under this Section 5.04.B.
The Wholesale Customers’ share of the annual appropriation for revenue-funded New Regional Assets that are categorized as Direct Wholesale will be 100 percent. (None of the Repair and Replacement projects in the SFPUC’s most recent capital improvement program updated on February 10, 2009, is categorized as Direct Wholesale.) The Wholesale Customers’ share of the annual appropriation for all other revenue-funded New Regional Assets will be determined each year and will be equal to the Wholesale Customers’ Proportional Annual Use in each fiscal y
ear. The amount appropriated in each fiscal year for the wholesale share of New Regional Assets shall be contributed to the Wholesale Capital Fund described in Section 6.08 and reported on and administered as shown in that section and Attachments M-1 through M-3. 123
Item # C8.
47 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1

A. Source of Supply
1. Description: This category consists of the costs of labor, supervision and eng
ineering; materials and supplies; and other expenses incurred in the operation and maintenance of collecting and impounding reservoirs, dams, wells and other water supply facilities located outside San Francisco; watershed protection; water supply planning; and the purchase of water.
2. Allocation: Direct Retail expenses, including water supply planning for Retail operations (such as City Retail water conservation programs), will be assigned to the Retail Customers. Regional expenses will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use. Direct Wholesale expenses will be assigned to the Wholesale Customers. (As of the Effective Date there are no Direct Wholesale expenses in the Source of Supply category.)
B. Pumping
1. Description: This category consists of the costs of labor, supervision and eng
ineering; materials and supplies; and other expenses incurred in the operation and maintenance of water pumping plants, ancillary structures and equipment and surrounding grounds; and fuel and power purchased for pumping water.

Regional expenses will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use. Direct Wholesale expenses will be assigned to the Wholesale Customers. (As of the Effective Date there are no Direct Wholesale expenses in the Pumping category.)
C. Treatment
1. Description: This category consists of the costs of labor, supervision and eng
ineering; materials and supplies and other expenses incurred in the operation and maintenance of water treatment plants and drinking water quality sampling and testing. The cost of water quality testing will not include expenses incurred on behalf of the Wastewater 124
Item # C8.
48 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
Enterprise. Any remaining costs, after adjusting for the Wastewater Enterprise, will be reduced by the amount of revenue received for laboratory analyses of any type performed for agencies, businesses and/or individuals other than the Water and Hetch Hetchy Enterprises.
2. Allocation: Direct Retail expenses will be assigned to the Retail Customers. Regional expenses will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use. Direct Wholesale expenses will be assigned to the Wholesale Customers. (As of the Effective Date there are no Direct Wholesale expenses in the Treatment category.)
D. Transmission and Distribution
1. Descri ption: This category consists of the cost of labor, supervision and engineering; materials and supplies; and other expenses incurred in the operation and maintenance of transmission and distribution pipelines, appurtenances, meters (other than those expenses payable by individual Wholesale Customers pursuant to Section 5.10.C.3), distribution reservoirs storing treated water, craft shops and auto shops servicing vehicles used for operation and maintenance of the Regional Water System rather than for Direct Retail facilities, and miscellaneous facilities related to the transmission and distribution of water.
2. Allocation: Direct Retail Transmission and Distribution expenses will be assigned to the Retail Customers. Regional Transmission and Distribution expenses will be allocated between Retail and Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use.
Expenses incurred for the operation and maintenance of three terminal reservoirs, i.e., Sunset Reservoir (North and South Basins), University Mound Reservoir (North and South Basins), and Merced Manor Reservoir, as well as transmission pipelines delivering water to them, are classified as Regional expenses notwithstanding the location of the reservoirs within San Francisco. Direct Wholesale expenses will be assigned to the Wholesale Customers. (As of the Effective Date the only Direct Wholesale expenses in the Transmission and Distribution category are associated with the Palo Alto pipeline.)

125
Item # C8.
49 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
2. Allocation: Customer Services expenses will be allocated among the Water Enterprise, the Wastewater Enterprise, and Hetch Hetchy Enterprise in proportion to the time spent by employees in Customer Services for each operating department/enterprise. The Water Enterprise’s share of Customer Services expense will be allocated 98 percent to the Retail Customers and two percent to the Wholesale Customers, as illustrated on Attachment N- 2, Schedule 1.
5.06. Water Enterprise Administrative and General Expenses Administrative and General expenses consist of the Water Enterprise’s share of the cost of general government distributed through the full-cost Countywide Cost Allocation Plan, the services of SFPUC support bureaus, Water Enterprise administrative and general expenses that cannot be directly assigned to a specific operating and maintenance category, and the cost of the Compliance Audit. These four subcategories, and the method by which costs in each are to be calculated and allocated, are as follows:
A. Countywide Cost Allocation Plan
1. Description: This subcategory consists of the Water Enterprise’s share of the costs of San Francisco general government and other City central service departments which are not directly billed to the Water Enterprise or other operating departments. All San Francisco operating departments are assigned a prorated share of these costs through the full- cost Countywide Cost Allocation Plan (COWCAP) prepared annually by the San Francisco Controller.
2. Allocation: The Water Enterprise’s assigned share of central government costs as shown in the annual full-cost COWCAP prepared by the San Francisco Controller, will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of the composite percentage of the allocated expenses in the five categories of operation and maintenance expense described in Section 5.05. The composite wholesale percentage shown on Attachment N-2, Schedule 1 is 42.07 percent, derived by dividing the wholesale share of Operation and Maintenance expenses ($46,573,883) by total Operation and Maintenance expenses ($110,700,133).
B. Services of SFPUC Bureaus
1. Description: This subcategory consists of the support services provided t
o the Water Enterprise by the SFPUC Bureaus, which presently consist of the General 126
Item # C8.
50 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
Manager’s Office, Business Services, External Affairs, and Infrastructure Bureau. Business Services presently includes Financial Services, Information Technology Services, Human Resource Services, Fleet Management, and Customer Services.
2. Allocation: There are three steps involved in determining the Wholesale Customers’ share of SFPUC Bureau costs.
a. Step One: Bureau expenses which have either been recovered separately or which provide no benefit to Wholesale Customers will be excluded. Examples of Bureau expenses recovered separately include (1) Customer Services expenses, which are recovered as provided in Section 5.05.E, and (2) Infrastructure expenses, which are assigned to individual projects and capitalized. An example of a Bureau expense that provides no benefit to Wholesale Customers is Information Technology Services expenses for support of the San Francisco Municipal Railway. In addition, the SFPUC will continue its practice of assigning City Attorney Office expenses charged to the General Manager's Office for projects or lawsuits that relate to only one enterprise directly to that enterprise. For example, costs related to a lawsuit involving the Wastewater Enterprise will not be assigned to the Water Enterprise. b. Step Two: Bureau expenses adjusted as provided in Step One will be allocated among the Water Enterprise, the Wastewater Enterprise and the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise on the basis of the actual salaries of employees in each enterprise or department, as illustrated on Attachment N-2, Schedule 7.
c. Step Three: The amount allocated to the Water Enterprise through Step Two will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use.
C. Water Enterprise Administrative and General
1. Description: This category includes expenses incurred by the Water Enterprise that are not readily assignable to specific operating divisions. This category includes the following expenses:
a. Water Administration: This includes the costs of labor and other expenses of the administrative section of the Water Enterprise, supervision and engineering expenses, professional services, travel and training, equipment purchases, and materials and supplies not directly assignable to a specific operating unit. b. Services Provided by Other City Departments: This includes charges of other San Francisco departments directly billed to the Water Enterprise 127
Item # C8.
51 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
administration by other San Francisco departments for services ordered by the Water Enterprise, such as legal services, risk management, telecommunications, employee relations, purchasing, mail services, and workers compensation claims paid. c. Litigation and Claims Paid: This includes charges incurred for attorney services and claims and judgments paid in litigation arising from the operation of the Water Enterprise.
2. Allocation: In each of these three subcategories, expenses that benefit only Retail Customers will be excluded. For example, the cost of claims and judgments resulting from a break in or leak from pipelines or reservoirs in the Retail Service Area (with the exception of the three terminal reservoirs and pipelines delivering water to them) will be assigned to the Retail Customers. Remaining Water Enterprise Administrative and General expenses will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of the composite percentage of allocated operation and maintenance expense categories described in Section 5.05.
D. Compliance Audit. The cost of the Compliance Audit described in Section 7.04 will be assigned 50 percent to the Retail Customers and 50 percent to the Wholesale Customers.
5.07. Water Enterprise Property Taxes
A. Description: This category consists of property taxes levied against property owned by San Francisco located in Alameda, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties and used and managed by the SFPUC.
B. Allocation: All property taxes paid, net of (1) reimbursements received from lessees and permit holders, and (2) refunds from the taxing authority, are Regional expenses.
Net property taxes will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use.
5.08. Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Expenses
A. Introduction. There are two steps involved in determining the amount of the Wholesale Customers’ share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise expenses. 128
Item # C8.
52 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
1. The first step is to determine the Water Enterprise’s share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise operation expenses, maintenance expenses, administrative and general expenses, and property taxes.
2. The second step is to determine the Wholesale Customers’ share of expenses allocable to the Water Enterprise.
B. Determination of the Water-Related Portion of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Expenses
1. Operation and Maintenance Expenses: This category consists of the cost of labor, materials and supplies, and other expenses incurred in operating and maintaining Hetch Hetchy Enterprise physical facilities.
a. Description: Expenses associated exclusively with the production and distribution of hydroelectric power (e.g., generating plants and power transmission lines and towers, transformers and associated electric equipment, purchased power, wheeling charges, rental of power lines, etc.) are categorized as Power-Only and are allocated to power.
Expenses associated exclusively with the operation and maintenance of facilities that serve only the water function (e.g., water transmission pipelines and aqueducts, activities related to compliance with federal and state drinking water quality laws, etc.) are categorized as Water- Only and are allocated entirely to water. Expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of facilities that serve both the water and power functions (e.g., dams, security programs, etc.) are categorized as Joint and are reallocated as 55 percent Power-Related and 45 percent Water-Related.
2. Administrative and General Expenses: There are three subcategories of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Administrative and General expenses. a. Full-Cost Countywide Cost Allocation Plan: This subcategory consists of the cost of San Francisco general government and other City central service departments which are not directly billed to operating departments but allocated through the full- cost Countywide Cost Allocation Plan described in Section 5.06.A. Costs in this subcategory are classified as Joint, and are reallocated as 55 percent Power-Related and 45 percent Water- Related.
b. SFPUC Bureau Costs: This subcategory consists of the expenses described in Section 5.06.B. One hundred percent of Customer Services expenses allocated to the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise are categorized as Power-Only. The remaining amount of Bureau 129
Item # C8.
53 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
expenses allocated to the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise pursuant to Section 5.06.B will be reallocated between power and water in proportion to the salaries of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise employees assigned to each function as shown on Attachment N-2, Schedule 7.1. c. Other Administrative and General: This subcategory includes payments to the United States required by the Act, labor, supervision and engineering and other costs not readily assignable to a specific operation or maintenance function or program. Costs related to power administration (such as long range planning and policy analysis for energy development, administration of power contracts, and administration of work orders to City departments for energy services) are Power-Only costs. Costs related to water administration (such as legal and professional services for the protection of the City's water rights) are Water- Only costs and will be assigned to the Water Enterprise. Costs related to both power administration and water administration (such as general administration, office rents, office materials and supplies, and services of other City departments benefitting to both power and water are Joint administrative and general costs and are reallocated as 55 percent Power- Related and 45 percent Water-Related.
3. Property Taxes. This category consists of property taxes levied against property owned by San Francisco in Tuolumne, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Alameda counties and operated and managed by the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise.
Allocation: Property taxes are classified as Joint costs. They will be reallocated as 55 percent Power-Related and 45 percent Water-Related.
C. Calculation of Wholesale Customers’ Share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Expenses. The Water Enterprise’s share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise expenses consist of 100 percent of Water-Only expenses and the Water-Related portion (45%) of Joint expenses.
The Wholesale Customers’ share of the sum of the Water Enterprise’s share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise expenses determined under subsection B shall be calculated by multiplying that dollar amount by Adjusted Proportional Annual Use.
5.09. Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Capital Costs
A. Introduction. Wholesale Customers are also allocated a share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise capital costs.
B. Components of Capital Costs. The components of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise capital costs are as follows:

The Water Enterprise will be assigned 100 percent of Net Annual Debt Service attributable to acquisition and construction of New Hetch Hetchy Enterprise assets that are Water-Only and the Water-Related portion (45 percent) of Net Annual Debt Service on New Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Joint assets. The provisions of Section
5.04.A apply to debt service on New Hetch Hetchy Enterprise assets.
3. Revenue-Funded Capital Additions. The Water Enterprise will be assigned 100 percent of capital expenditures from revenues for New Hetch Hetchy Enterprise assets that are Water-Only and the Water-Related portion (45 percent) of such expenditures for new Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Joint assets. The provisions of Section 5.04.B apply to the payment of New revenue-funded Hetch Hetchy Enterprise assets.
C. Calculation of Wholesale Customers’ Share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Capital Costs. The Wholesale Customers’ share of the Net Annual Debt Service and revenue funded capital expenditures determined under subsections B.2 and 3 shall be calculated by multiplying that dollar amount by Adjusted Proportional Annual Use.

A. Water Enterprise Assets. Water Enterprise assets are currently managed, operated, and maintained by the Water Enterprise and are generally located west of Alameda East Portal, in addition to the treatment facilities located at Tesla and the Thomas Shaft Emergency Disinfection Facility. These assets are classified as Direct Retail, Direct Wholesale, or Regional.
B. Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Assets. Hetch Hetchy Enterprise assets are currently managed, operated and maintained by the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise and are generally located east of the Alameda East Portal of the Coast Range Tunnel in Sunol Valley, Alameda County.
These assets are classified as Power-Only, Water-Only, or Joint, in accordance with Sections
5.08 and 5.09. Through the Wholesale Revenue Requirement, the Wholesale Customers pay Existing System Asset capital costs and operating expenses in accordance with Section 5.02.F and do not pay capital costs or operating expenses associated with assets classified as Direct Retail, Power-Only, and the Power-Related portion of Joint assets.
C. Attachment R Documents Classifications. To facilitate WSA administration, Attachment R documents the classification of major Existing System Assets operated by the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise. Attachment R consists of three documents: R-1 Introduction, R-2 Special Classification of Discrete Projects for 2018 Amendment Purposes, and R-3 Major Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Existing System Assets. Attachment R may be modified as specified in Section 5.11.D and in the manner set forth in Section 2.03.C. 134
Item # C8.
58 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
D. Attachment R-3, Major Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Existing System Assets, is Not Exhaustive. Existing System Assets include, but are not limited to, land; fixed infrastructure such as dams, tunnels, buildings, water treatment plants and pipelines; equipment such as pumps and vehicles; and related appurtenances. Major Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Existing System Assets, and their classifications, are listed in Attachment R-3. Attachment R-3 does not include all assets of the Regional Water System, but represents the parties' best efforts to document major Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Existing System Assets that would incur capital costs and operating expenses subject to cost allocation. The classification of assets listed on R-3 may not be changed during the Term, any Extension Term, and any renewal of the Agreement, however, Attachment R-3 may be modified by mutual agreement in accordance with Section
2.03.C to (1) add an asset that was inadvertently omitted, (2) to add a new asset, and (3) remove a destroyed or obsolete asset. In the event that the parties cannot agree on the classification of any omitted or new assets, the dispute shall be subject to arbitration under Section 8.01.
E. Attachment R-3, Major Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Existing System Assets, Classifications are Fixed. The classification of the major Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Existing System Assets is fixed and shall control the allocation of capital costs and operating expenses for the remainder of the Term, any Extension Terms, and any renewal of the Agreement.
However, changes may be proposed in accordance with subsection G below. Capital costs and operating expenses are meant to be inclusive of all costs related to assets, including, but not limited to, any alterations, additions, improvements, rehabilitation, replacement of assets, and equipment that is appurtenant thereto. Since asset classifications are fixed in Attachment R-3, asset classifications may not be modified by mutual agreement in accordance with Section
2.03.C.
F. Attachment R-2, Special Classification of Discrete Projects for 2018 Amendment Purposes. Past, ongoing and future capital projects involving five Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Existing System Assets defined in Attachment R-2 have classifications that differ from the underlying asset classifications. These project-related classification changes shown on Attachment R-2, are part of the 2018 amendments to the Agreement and are not precedential for any other asset-related capital cost or operating expense. With the exception of the defined projects related to the five assets listed on R-2, the capital projects for all assets follow the asset classifications. Capital projects listed on Attachment R-2 must be approved by the SFPUC following necessary CEQA review.

G. Five Year Notice of Intent to Renegotiate Cost Allocation. In the event San Francisco or the Wholesale Customers, which may be represented by BAWSCA, wish to propose and negotiate a change in Existing System Asset classifications, or a change in the Water-Related portion (45 percent) of Joint expenses, for the next Water Supply Agreement, such party must provide the other at least 5 years' written notice prior to the expiration of the Term or Extension Term, or the renewal of the Agreement. At a minimum, the noticing party must provide a comprehensive analysis of the financial and rate impacts of the proposed change at least two years prior to the expiration of the Term or Extension Term, or the renewal of the Agreement.
To meet this requirement, the parties may agree to jointly analyze, under a separate agreement, system capacity and usage and/or new assets, as well as other possible alternative cost allocation methodologies. Either party may also unilaterally initiate such studies by consultants of their choice and bear all their own costs. 136

Article 6. Integration of Wholesale Revenue Requirement with SFPUC Budget Development and Rate Adjustments
6.01. General
A. The purpose of the allocation bases set forth in Article 5 is to determine the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for each fiscal year. The Wholesale Revenue Requirement can only be estimated in advance, based on projected costs and water deliveries. These projections are used to establish water rates applicable to the Wholesale Customers.
B. After the close of each fiscal year, the procedures described in Article 7 will be used to determine the actual Wholesale Revenue Requirement for that year, based on actual costs incurred, allocated according to the provisions of Article 5, and using actual water delivery data. The amount properly allocated to the Wholesale Customers shall be compared to the amount billed to the Wholesale Customers for the fiscal year, other than those identified in Section 5.10.C. The difference will be entered into a balancing account to be charged to, or credited to, the Wholesale Customers, as appropriate.
C. The balancing account shall be managed as described in Section 6.05.
6.02. Budget Development
The SFPUC General Manager will send a copy of the proposed SFPUC budget to BAWSCA at the same time as it is sent to the Commission. In addition, a copy of materials submitted to the Commission for consideration at meetings prior to the meeting at which the overall SFPUC budget is considered (including (a) operating budgets for the Water Enterprise and the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise, (b) budgets for SFPUC Bureaus, and (c) capital budgets for the Water Enterprise and the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise) will also be sent to BAWSCA concurrently with their submission to the Commission.
6.03. Rate Adjustments
A. Budget Coordinated Rate Adjustments. Adjustments to the rates applicable to the Wholesale Customers shall be coordinated with the budget development process described in this section except to the extent that Sections 6.03.B and 6.03.C authorize emergency rate increases and drought rate increases, respectively.
If the SFPUC intends to increase wholesale water rates during the ensuing fiscal year, it will comply with the following procedures:
137
Item # C8.
61 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
1. Adjustments to the wholesale rates will be adopted by the Commission at a regularly scheduled meeting or at special meeting, properly noticed, called for the purpose of adjusting rates or for taking any other action under the jurisdiction of the Commission.
2. The SFPUC will send a written notice by mail or electronic means to each Wholesale Customer and to BAWSCA of the recommended adjustment at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the meeting at which the Commission will consider the proposed adjustment.
The notice will include the date, time and place of the Commission meeting.
3. The SFPUC shall prepare and provide to each Wholesale Customer and to BAWSCA the following materials: (a) a table illustrating how the increase or decrease in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement and wholesale rates were calculated, substantially in the form of Attachment N-1, (b) a schedule showing the projected expenses included in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for the fiscal year for which the rates are being proposed, and supporting materials, substantially in the form of Attachment N-2, and (c) a schedule showing projected water sales, Wholesale Revenue Requirements and wholesale rates for the fiscal year for which rates are being set and the following four years, substantially in the form of Attachment N-3.
These materials will be included with the notification required by Section 6.03.A.2.
4. Rate adjustments will be effective no sooner than thirty (30) days after adoption of the wholesale rate by the Commission.
5. San Francisco will use its best efforts to provide the Wholesale Customers with the information described above. San Francisco's failure to comply with the requirements set forth in this section shall not invalidate any action taken by the Commission (including, but not limited to, any rate increase or decrease adopted). In the event of such failure, the Wholesale Customers may either invoke arbitration, as set forth in Section 8.01, or seek injunctive relief, to compel San Francisco to remedy the failure as soon as is reasonably practical, and San Francisco shall be free to oppose the issuance of the requested judicial or arbitral relief on any applicable legal or equitable basis. The existence of this right to resort to arbitration shall not be deemed to preclude the right to seek injunctive relief.
6. Because delays in the budget process or other events may cause San Francisco to defer the effective date of Wholesale Customer rate adjustments until after the beginning of San Francisco's fiscal year, nothing contained in this Agreement shall require San Francisco to make any changes in the water rates charged to Wholesale Customers effective at 138
Item # C8.
62 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
the start of San Francisco's fiscal year or at any other specific date. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall excuse non-compliance with the provisions of Section 6.02 and this section.
B. Emergency Rate Increases. The Commission may adjust the Wholesale Customers’ rates without complying with the requirements of Section 6.03.A in response to an Emergency that damages the Regional Water System and disrupts San Francisco’s ability to maintain normal deliveries of water to Retail and Wholesale Customers. In such an Emergency, the Commission may adopt an emergency rate surcharge applicable to Wholesale Customers without following the procedures set forth in this section, provided that any such rate surcharge imposed by the Commission shall be applicable to both Retail and Wholesale Customers and incorporate the same percentage increase for all customers. Any emergency rate surcharge adopted by the Commission shall remain in effect only until the next-budget coordinated rate- setting cycle.
C. Drought Rates. If the Commission declares a water shortage emergency under Water Code Section 350, implements the Tier 1 Shortage Plan (Attachment H) described in Section 3.11.C, and imposes drought rates on Retail Customers, it may concurrently adjust wholesale rates independently of coordination with the annual budget process. Those adjustments may be designed to encourage water conservation and may constitute changes to the structure of the rates within the meaning of Section 6.04. The parties agree, however, that, in adopting changes in rates in response to a declaration of water shortage emergency, the Commission shall comply with Section 6.03.A.1 and 2 but need not comply with Section 6.04.B.
Drought Rate payments and payments of excess use charges levied in accordance with the Tier 1 Shortage Plan described in Section 3.11.C constitute Wholesale Customer Revenue and count towards the Wholesale Revenue Requirement. The SFPUC may use these revenues to purchase additional water for the Wholesale Customers from the State Drought Water Bank or other willing seller.
6.04. Rate Structure
A. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to limit the Commission’s right (a) to adjust the structure of the rate schedule applicable to the Wholesale Customers (i.e., the relationship among the several charges set out therein) or (b) to add, delete, or change the various charges which make up the rate schedule, provided that neither such charges nor the structure of the rate schedule(s) applicable to the Wholesale Customers shall be arbitrary, unreasonable, or unjustly discriminatory as among said customers. The 139
Item # C8.
63 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
SFPUC will give careful consideration to proposals for changes in the rate schedule made jointly by the Wholesale Customers but, subject to the limitations set out above, shall retain the sole and exclusive right to determine the structure of the rate schedule.
B. If the SFPUC intends to recommend that the Commission adopt one or more changes to the structure of wholesale rates (currently set forth in SFPUC Rate Schedule W-25), it shall prepare and distribute to the Wholesale Customers and BAWSCA a report describing the proposed change(s), the purpose(s) for which it/they are being considered, and the estimated financial effect on individual Wholesale Customers or classes of customers. Wholesale Customers may submit comments on the report to the SFPUC for sixty (60) days after receiving the report. The SFPUC will consider these comments and, if it determines to recommend that the Commission adopt the change(s), as described in the report or as modified in response to comments, the SFPUC General Manager shall submit a report to the Commission recommending specific change(s) in the rate structure. Copies of the General Manager’s report shall be sent to all Wholesale Customers and BAWSCA at least thirty (30) days prior to the Commission meeting at which the changes will be considered.
C. The SFPUC may recommend, and the Commission may adopt, changes in the structure of wholesale rates at any time. However, the new rate schedule implementing these changes will become effective at the beginning of the following fiscal year.
6.05. Balancing Account
A. Balancing Account Established Under 1984 Agreement. The amount of credit in favor of San Francisco as of the expiration of the term of 1984 Agreement (June 30, 2009) is not known with certainty as of preparation and execution of this Agreement. It will not be known with certainty until the Compliance Audit for FY 2008-09 is completed and disputes, if any, that the Wholesale Customers or the SFPUC may have with the calculation of the Suburban Revenue Requirement for that fiscal year and for previous fiscal years have been settled or decided by arbitration.
The parties anticipate that the amount of the credit in favor of San Francisco as of June 30, 2009 may be within the range of $15 million to $20 million.
In order to reduce the credit balance due San Francisco under the 1984 Agreement in an orderly manner, while avoiding unnecessary fluctuations in wholesale rates, the parties agree to implement the following procedure.
140
Item # C8.
64 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
1. In setting wholesale rates for FY 2009-10, SFPUC will include a balancing account repayment of approximately $2 million.
2. In setting wholesale rates for FY 2010-11 and following years, SFPUC will include a balancing account repayment of not less than $2 million and not more than $5 million annually until the full amount of the balance due, plus interest at the rate specified in Section
6.05.B, is repaid.
3. The actual ending balance as of June 30, 2009 will be determined, by the parties’ agreement or arbitral ruling, after the Compliance Audit report for FY 2008-09 is delivered to BAWSCA. That amount, once determined, will establish the principal to be amortized through subsequent years’ repayments pursuant to this Section 6.05.A.
B. Balancing Account Under This Agreement
1. Operation. After the close of each fiscal year, the SFPUC will compute the costs allocable to the Wholesale Customers for that fiscal year pursuant to Article 5, based on actual costs incurred by the SFPUC and actual amounts of water used by the Wholesale Customers and the Retail Customers. That amount will be compared to the amounts billed to the Wholesale Customers for that fiscal year (including any Excess Use Charges, but excluding revenues described in Section 5.10.C). The difference will be posted to a “balancing account” as a credit to, or charge against, the Wholesale Customers. Interest shall also be posted to the balancing account calculated by multiplying the amount of the opening balance by the average net interest rate, certified by the Controller as earned in the San Francisco Treasury for the previous fiscal year on the San Francisco County Pooled Investment Account. Interest, when posted, will carry the same mathematical sign (whether positive or negative) as carried by the opening balance. The amount posted to the balancing account in each year shall be added to, or subtracted from, the balance in the account from previous years. The calculation of the amount to be posted to the balancing account shall be included in the report prepared by the SFPUC pursuant to Section 7.02.
The opening balance for fiscal year 2009-10 shall be zero.
2. Integration of Balancing Account with Wholesale Rate Setting Process. If the amount in the balancing account is owed to the Wholesale Customers (a positive balance), the SFPUC shall take it into consideration in establishing wholesale rates. However, the SFPUC need not apply the entire amount to reduce wholesale rates for the immediately ensuing 141
Item # C8.
65 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
year. Instead, the SFPUC may prorate a positive ending balance over a period of up to three successive years in order to avoid fluctuating decreases and increases in wholesale rates. a. If a positive balance is maintained for three successive years and represents 10 percent or more of the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for the most recent fiscal year, the SFPUC shall consult with BAWSCA as to the Wholesale Customers’ preferred application of the balance. The Wholesale Customers shall, through BAWSCA, direct that the positive balance be applied to one or more of the following purposes: (a) transfer to the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve, (b) amortization of any remaining negative balance from the ending balancing account under the 1984 Agreement, (c) prepayment of the existing asset balance under Section 5.03, (d) water conservation or water supply projects administered by or through BAWSCA, (e) immediate reduction of wholesale rates, or (f) continued retention for future rate stabilization purposes. In the absence of a direction from BAWSCA, the SFPUC shall continue to retain the balance for rate stabilization in subsequent years. b. If the amount in the balancing account is owed to the SFPUC (a negative balance), the SFPUC shall not be obligated to apply all or any part of the negative balance in establishing wholesale rates for the immediately ensuring year. Instead, the SFPUC may prorate the negative balance in whole or in part over multiple years in order to avoid fluctuating increases and decreases in wholesale rates.
6.06. Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve
A. The SFPUC may include in wholesale rates for any fiscal year an additional dollar amount (“Wholesale Revenue Coverage”), which for any fiscal year shall equal the following:
1. The lesser of (i) 25% of the Wholesale Customers’ share of Net Annual Debt Service for that fiscal year determined as described in Section 5.04.A, or (ii) the amount necessary to meet the Wholesale Customers’ proportionate share of Debt Service coverage required by then-current Indebtedness for that fiscal year, minus
2. A credit for (i) the actual amounts previously deposited in the “Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve” (as defined in subsection B below), (ii) accrued interest on the amounts on deposit in the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve, and (iii) an amount equal to any additional interest that would have accrued on the actual amounts previously deposited in the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve assuming no withdrawals had been made therefrom.
142
Item # C8.
66 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
B. During each fiscal year, the SFPUC will set aside and deposit that portion of revenue equal to Wholesale Revenue Coverage into a separate account that the SFPUC will establish and maintain, to be known as the “Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve.” Deposits into the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve shall be made no less frequently than monthly.
The Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve shall be credited with interest at the rate specified in Section 6.05.B. The SFPUC may use amounts in the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve for any lawful purpose. Any balance in the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve in excess of the Wholesale Revenue Coverage amount as of the end of any fiscal year (as calculated in subsection 6.06(A) above) shall be applied as a credit against wholesale rates in the immediately following fiscal year unless otherwise directed by BAWSCA.
C. Within 180 days following the later of expiration of the Term or final payment of Debt Service due on Indebtedness issued during the Term to which Wholesale Customers were contributing, SFPUC shall rebate to the Wholesale Customers an amount equal to the Wholesale Revenue Coverage amount in effect for the fiscal year during which the Term expires or the final payment of Debt Service on Indebtedness is made based on each Wholesale Customer’s Proportional Annual Use in the fiscal year during which the Term expires or the final payment of debt service on Indebtedness is made.
D. SFPUC shall provide a schedule of debt issuance (with assumptions), and the Wholesale Customers’ share of Net Annual Debt Service (actual and projected) expected to be included in wholesale rates starting in 2009-10 through the expected completion of the WSIP.
The schedule is to be updated annually prior to rate setting. If estimated Debt Service is used in rate setting, the SFPUC must be able to demonstrate that the Water Enterprise revenues will be sufficient to meet the additional bonds test for the proposed bonds and rate covenants for the upcoming year.
E. Conditions in the municipal bond market may change from those prevailing in 2009. If, prior to expiration of the Term, the SFPUC determines that it would be in the best financial interest of both Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers of the Regional Water System for the Debt Service coverage requirement to be increased in one or more series of proposed new Indebtedness above 1.25%, or for the coverage covenant to be strengthened in other ways, it will provide a written report to BAWSCA. The report will contain (1) a description of proposed covenant(s) in the bond indenture; (2) an explanation of how savings are expected to be achieved (e.g., increase in the SFPUC’s credit rating over the then-current level; ability to 143
Item # C8.
67 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
obtain credit enhancement, etc.); (3) the estimated all-in true interest cost savings; (4) a comparison of the Wholesale Revenue Requirements using the Debt Service coverage limitation in subsection A and under the proposed methodology; and (5) a comparison of the respective monetary benefits expected to be received by both Retail and Wholesale Customers.
The SFPUC and BAWSCA agree to meet and confer in good faith about the proposed changes.
F. Any increase in Debt Service coverage proposed by the SFPUC shall be commensurate with Proportional Water Use by Retail and Wholesale Customers. If the SFPUC demonstrates that an increase in Debt Service coverage will result in equivalent percentage reductions in total Wholesale and Retail Debt Service payments over the life of the proposed new Indebtedness, based on Proportional Water Use, BAWSCA may agree to a modification of the Wholesale Revenue Coverage requirement in subsection A. If BAWSCA does not agree to a proposed modification in coverage requirements in the covenants for new Indebtedness, SFPUC may nevertheless proceed with the modification and the issuance of new Indebtedness.
Any Wholesale Customer, or BAWSCA, may challenge an increase in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement resulting from the modification in Debt Service coverage through arbitration as provided in Section 8.01.A. If the arbitrator finds that the increase in Debt Service coverage (1) did not and will not result in equivalent percentage reductions in total Wholesale and Retail Debt Service payments over the life of the proposed new Indebtedness, based on Proportional Water Use, or (2) was not commensurate with Proportional Water Use, the arbitrator may order the Wholesale Revenue Requirement to be recalculated both retrospectively and prospectively to eliminate the differential impact to Wholesale or Retail Customers, subject to the limitation in Section 8.01.C.
6.07. Working Capital Requirement
A. The SFPUC maintains working capital in the form of unappropriated reserves for the purpose of bridging the gap between when the SFPUC incurs operating expenses required to provide service and when it receives revenues from its Retail and Wholesale Customers.
The Wholesale Customers shall fund their share of working capital as part of the annual Wholesale Revenue Requirement calculation. The amount of wholesale working capital for which the Wholesale Customers will be responsible will be determined using the 60-day standard formula approach.
B. Applying this approach, annual wholesale working capital equals one-sixth of the wholesale allocation of operation and maintenance, administrative and general, and property tax 144
Item # C8.
68 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
expenses for the Water and Hetch Hetchy Enterprises. Wholesale working capital shall be calculated separately for the Water and Hetch Hetchy Enterprises.
C. Each month, the sum of the Water Enterprise and Hetch Hetchy Enterprise working capital components will be compared with the ending balance in the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve to determine if the Wholesale Customers provided the minimum required working capital. If the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve is greater than the total Water Enterprise and Hetch Hetchy Enterprise working capital requirement, the Wholesale Customers will have provided their share of working capital. If the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve is less than the total Water Enterprise and Hetch Hetchy Enterprise working capital requirement, the Wholesale Customers will be charged interest on the difference, which will be included in the adjustment to the Balancing Account under Section 6.05.B for the subsequent fiscal year.
6.08. Wholesale Capital Fund
A. The SFPUC currently funds revenue-funded capital projects through annual budget appropriations that are included in rates established for that fiscal year and transferred to a capital project fund from which expenditures are made. Consistent with the San Francisco Charter and Administrative Code, the SFPUC appropriates funds in advance of construction in order to maintain a positive balance in the capital project fund. The capital project fund also accrues interest and any unspent appropriations in excess of total project costs. It is the SFPUC’s practice to regularly monitor the capital project fund balance to determine whether a surplus has accumulated, which can be credited against the next fiscal year’s capital project appropriation.
B. The SFPUC shall establish a comparable Wholesale Revenue-Funded Capital Fund (Wholesale Capital Fund) to enable the Wholesale Customers to fund the wholesale share of revenue-funded New Regional Assets. The Wholesale Capital Fund balance is zero as of July 1, 2009. The SFPUC may include in wholesale rates for any fiscal year an amount equal to the wholesale share of the SFPUC’s appropriation for revenue funded New Regional Assets for that year, which sum will be credited to the Wholesale Capital Fund. The wholesale share of other sources of funding, where legally permitted and appropriately accounted for under GAAP, will also be credited to the Wholesale Capital Fund, together with interest earnings on the Wholesale Capital Fund balance.
145
Item # C8.
69 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
C. The SFPUC will expend revenues appropriated and transferred to the Wholesale Capital Fund only on New Regional Assets. The annual capital appropriation included in each fiscal year’s budget will be provided to BAWSCA in accordance with Section 6.02 and will take into account the current and projected balance in the Wholesale Capital Fund, as well as current and projected unexpended and unencumbered surplus, as shown on attachment M-1, which will be prepared by the SFPUC each year.
D. Commencing on November 30, 2010 and thereafter in each fiscal year during the Term, the SFPUC will also provide an annual report to BAWSCA on the status of individual revenue-funded New Regional Assets, substantially in the form of Attachment M-2.
E. In order to prevent the accumulation of an excessive unexpended and unencumbered balance in the Wholesale Capital Fund, the status of the fund balance will be reviewed through the annual Compliance Audit, commencing in FY 2018-19. The FY 2018-19 Compliance Audit and the Wholesale Customer/BAWSCA review under Section 7.06 shall include Wholesale Capital Fund appropriations, expenditures and interest earnings for FY 2014- 15 through 2017-18 for the purpose of determining whether a Balancing Account transfer is required. If the June 30 unencumbered balance of the Wholesale Capital Fund exceeds the lesser of the following: (i) the Target Balance; (ii) the unencumbered remaining cumulative appropriations, the amount of such excess shall be transferred to the credit of the Wholesale Customers to the Balancing Account described in Section 6.05.
In order to avoid funding delays for New Regional Asset capital projects resulting from prior year transfers of excess Wholesale Capital fund balances to the Wholesale Customers, if the June 30 unencumbered balance of the Wholesale Capital Fund is below the lesser of the following: (i) the Target Balance; (ii) the unencumbered remaining cumulative appropriation, such deficiency shall be posted to the Balancing Account described in Section 6.05 as a charge to the Wholesale Customers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such charge to the Wholesale Customers shall exceed $4 million annually.
Amended Attachment M-3 illustrates the process for determining the Wholesale Capital Fund balance as of June 30, 2019.
F. Three years prior to the end of the Term, the SFPUC and BAWSCA will discuss the disposition of the Wholesale Capital Fund balance at the end of the Term. Absent 146
Item # C8.
70 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
agreement, any balance remaining in the Wholesale Capital Fund at the end of the Term shall be transferred to the Balancing Account, to the credit of the Wholesale Customers.
6.09. SFPUC Adoption of Regional Water System 10-Year Capital Improvement Program A. Established Level of Service Goals and Objectives. In approving the WSIP, the Commission adopted Level of Service Goals and Objectives that are, in part, used to develop capital programs related to water, including the 10-Year Capital Improvement Program for the Regional Water System (“10-Year CIP”). BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers shall have the opportunity to review and provide written or oral comments on any changes to the Level of Service Goals and Objectives that may be submitted to the Commission for approval.
B. Submittal of an Asset Management Policy. Prior to December 31, 2020, the SFPUC shall develop and submit to the Commission for approval an Asset Management Policy applicable to the Regional Water System.
C. Coordination of 10-Year CIP and SFPUC Budget Meetings. The Commission annually reviews, updates, and adopts a 10-Year CIP pursuant to Section 8B.123 of the San Francisco Charter. At two-year intervals, the Commission holds two budget meetings concerning the 10-Year CIP. Over the course of the two budget meetings, the SFPUC reviews its budget priorities, potential changes to projects in the previously adopted 10-Year CIP, and the potential financial implications of such changes. In the event that Charter amendments are placed on the ballot that could alter or amend the City’s budget preparation and adoption efforts, BAWSCA shall be notified in advance of any proposed change that could result in a less robust CIP development effort, and BAWSCA and the SFPUC shall meet to consider BAWSCA’s comments on maintaining a robust CIP development effort.
D. Mid-cycle Changes to the 10-Year CIP. The SFPUC shall include within the Water Enterprise Capital Improvement Program Quarterly Projects Reports that it provides to the Commission (“CIP Quarterly Projects Reports”) discussion of any material changes proposed to projects that are included in the most recently adopted 10-Year CIP. The SFPUC defines a material change as a change that applies to a CIP project whose approved CIP budget is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 that results in one or more of the following:
1. Increases the cost of the CIP project by more than 10%.
2. Increases the schedule of the CIP project by extending said schedule by 12 calendar months or greater.
147
Item # C8.
71 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
3. Affects the SFPUC’s ability to meet the Level of Service Goals and Objectives.
The SFPUC shall also include within the CIP Quarterly Projects Reports discussion of any new capital project that is not included in the most recently adopted 10-Year CIP if the SFPUC has 1) begun spending on the project and 2) anticipates that it will require total funding in excess of $5,000,000. For such projects, the parties recognize that the work may be of an urgent nature and that details of those projects may be developing quickly to address a critical need. The SFPUC commits that, for these projects, an expanded discussion will be provided in quarterly reports generated 6 months following the creation of the project in the City’s finance and accounting system. At a minimum, the discussion will include: 1) a detailed scope of work, 2) schedule, 3) cost breakdown, and 4) proposed source of funding. This level of detail shall continue to be included in subsequent quarterly reports through either the completion of the work or until the work is included as part of an adopted 10-Year CIP.
E. BAWSCA and Wholesale Customer Notice and Review. Beginning in 2020, at least 30 days before the first budget meeting, the SFPUC shall provide BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers with written notice of the dates of the two budget meetings. At least 30 days before the first budget meeting, the SFPUC shall also provide BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers with a draft of the 10-Year CIP and meet with those same parties to review potential candidate projects that it is considering for inclusion in the 10-Year CIP. Final materials for the first budget meeting will be made available to BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers no less than 14 days prior to that budget meeting. Final materials for the second budget meeting will be made available to BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers on the same date that they are made available to the Commission.

4. The status of any administrative proceedings or litigation affecting San Francisco’s water rights or the SFPUC’s ability to deliver water from the watersheds which currently supply the Regional Water System;
5. Existing or anticipated problems with the maintenance and repair of the Regional Water System or with water quality;
6. Projections of Wholesale Revenue Requirements for the next five years;
7. Any other topic which the SFPUC General Manager places on the agenda for the meeting;
8. Any topic which the Wholesale Customers, through BAWSCA, request be placed on the agenda, provided that the SFPUC is notified of the request at least 10 days before the meeting.
B. The General Manager of the SFPUC, the Assistant General Manager of the Water Enterprise, and the Assistant General Manager of Business Services-CFO will use their best efforts to attend the annual meetings. If one or more of these officers are unable to attend, they will designate an appropriately informed assistant to attend in their place.
8.04. Administrative Matters Delegated to BAWSCA
A. The Wholesale Customers hereby delegate the authority and responsibility for performing the following administrative functions contemplated in this Agreement to BAWSCA:
1. Approval of calculations of Proportional Annual Water Use required by Section 3.14 and Attachment J, “Water Use Measurement and Tabulation”;
2. Approval of amendments to Attachments J and K-3 and K-4, “25-Year Payoff Schedules for Existing Rate Base”;
3. Agreement that the Water Meter and Calibration Procedures Manual to be prepared by the SFPUC may supersede some or all of the requirements in Attachment J, as described in Section 3.14;

Item # C8.
89 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
4. Conduct of Wholesale Customer review of SFPUC’s calculation of annual Wholesale Revenue Requirement/Change in Balancing Account described in Section 7.06;
5. Approval of an adjustment to Wholesale Revenue Coverage as described in Section 6.06.
B. A majority of the Wholesale Customers may, without amending this Agreement, delegate additional administrative functions to BAWSCA. To be effective, such expanded delegation must be evidenced by resolutions adopted by the governing bodies of a majority of the Wholesale Customers. In 2014, all twenty-six Wholesale Customers adopted resolutions delegating authority to BAWSCA to initiate, defend and settle arbitration for the matters that, pursuant to Section 8.01 of this Agreement, are subject to mandatory, binding arbitration.
C. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, the administrative authority delegated to BAWSCA may be exercised by the General Manager/CEO of BAWSCA, rather than requiring action by the BAWSCA Board of Directors. In addition, the Wholesale Customers may, with the consent of BAWSCA, delegate to BAWSCA the initiation, defense, and settlement of arbitration proceedings provided for in Section 8.01.
8.05. Preservation of Water Rights; Notice of Water Rights Proceedings A. It is the intention of San Francisco to preserve all of its water rights, irrespective of whether the water held under such water rights is allocated under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an abandonment, or evidence of an intent to abandon, any of the water rights that San Francisco presently possesses.
B. San Francisco shall use its best efforts to give prompt notice to BAWSCA of any litigation or administrative proceedings to which San Francisco is a party involving water rights to the Regional Water System. The failure of San Francisco to provide notice as required by this section, for whatever reason, shall not give rise to any monetary liability.
8.06. SFPUC Rules and Regulations
The sale and delivery of all water under this Agreement shall be subject to such of the “Rules and Regulations Governing Water Service to Customers” of the Water Enterprise adopted by the Commission, as those rules and regulations may be amended from time to time, as are (1) applicable to the sale and delivery of water to the Wholesale Customers, (2) reasonable, and (3) not inconsistent with either this Agreement or with an Individual Water 166
Item # C8.
90 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
Sales Contract. The SFPUC will give the Wholesale Customers notice of any proposal to amend the Rules and Regulations in a manner that would affect the Wholesale Customers. The notice will be delivered at least thirty days in advance of the date on which the proposal is to be considered by the Commission and will be accompanied by the text of the proposed amendment.
8.07. Reservations of, and Limitations on, Claims
A. General Reservation of Raker Act Contentions. The 1984 Agreement resolved a civil action brought against San Francisco by certain of the Wholesale Customers.
Plaintiffs in that action contended that they, and other Wholesale Customers that are municipalities or special districts, were “co-grantees” within the meaning of Section 8 of the Act and were entitled to certain rights, benefits and privileges by virtue of that status. San Francisco disputed those claims.
Nothing in this Agreement, or in the Individual Water Sales Contracts, shall be construed or interpreted in any way to affect the ultimate resolution of the controversy between the parties concerning whether any of the Wholesale Customers are “co-grantees” under the Act and, if so, what rights, benefits and privileges accrue to them by reason of that claimed status.
B. Claims Reserved but not Assertable During Term or Portions Thereof. The following claims, which San Francisco disputes, are reserved but may not be asserted during the Term (or portions thereof, as indicated):
1. The Wholesale Customers’ claim that the Act entitles them to water at cost.
2. The Wholesale Customers’ claim that San Francisco is obligated under the Act or state law to supply them with additional water in excess of the Supply Assurance.
This claim may not be asserted unless and until San Francisco decides not to meet projected water demands of Wholesale Customers in excess of the Supply Assurance pursuant to Section
4.06. 3. The claim by San Jose and Santa Clara that they are entitled under the Act, or any other federal or state law, to permanent, non-interruptible status and to be charged rates identical to those charged other Wholesale Customers. This claim may not be asserted unless and until San Francisco notifies San Jose or Santa Clara that it intends to interrupt or terminate water deliveries pursuant to Section 4.05.
167
Item # C8.
91 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
4. T he Wholesale Customers’ claim that the SFPUC is not entitled to impose a surcharge for lost power generation revenues attributable to furnishing water in excess of the Supply Assurance. This claim may not be asserted unless and until SFPUC furnishes water in excess of the Supply Assurance during the Term and also includes such a surcharge in the price of such water.
5. Claims by Wholesale Customers (other than San Jose and Santa Clara, whose service areas are fixed) that SFPUC is obligated under the Act or state law to furnish water, within their Individual Supply Guarantee, for delivery to customers outside their existing service area and that Wholesale Customers are entitled to enlarge their service areas to supply those customers. Such claims may be asserted only after compliance with the procedure set forth in Section 3.03, followed by SFPUC’s denial of, or failure for six months to act on, a written request by a Wholesale Customer to expand its service area.
C. Waived Activities. The Wholesale Customers (and the SFPUC, where specified) will refrain from the following activities during the Term (or portions thereof, as specified):
1. The Wholesale Customers and the SFPUC will not contend before any court, administrative agency or legislative body or committee that the methodology for determining the Wholesale Revenue Requirement (or the requirements for (a) amortization of the ending balance under the 1984 Agreement, or (b) contribution to the Wholesale Revenue Coverage) determined in accordance with this Agreement violates the Act or any other provision of federal law, state law, or San Francisco’s City Charter, or is unfair, unreasonable or unlawful.
2. The Wholesale Customers will not challenge the transfer of funds by the SFPUC to any other San Francisco City department or fund, provided such transfer complies with the San Francisco City Charter. The transfer of its funds, whether or not permitted by the City Charter, will not excuse the SFPUC from its failure to perform any obligation imposed by this Agreement.
3. The Wholesale Customers and the SFPUC will not assert monetary claims against one another based on the 1984 Agreement other than otherwise arbitrable claims arising from the three fiscal years immediately preceding the start of the Term (i.e., FYs 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09). Such claims, if any, shall be governed by the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement, except that the time within which arbitration must be commenced shall be 18 months from delivery of the Compliance Auditor’s report. 168
Item # C8.
92 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
D. Other
1. This Agreement shall determine the respective monetary rights and obligations of the parties with respect to water sold by the SFPUC to the Wholesale Customers during the Term. Such rights and obligations shall not be affected by any judgments or orders issued by any court in litigation, whether or not between parties hereto, and whether or not related to the controversy over co-grantee status, except for arbitration and/or litigation expressly permitted in this Agreement. No judicial or other resolution of issues reserved by this section will affect the Wholesale Revenue Requirement which, during the Term, will be determined exclusively as provided in Articles 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement.
2. Because delays in the budget process or other events may cause the SFPUC to defer the effective date of changes in wholesale rates until after the beginning of the fiscal year, this Agreement does not require the SFPUC to make changes in wholesale rates effective at the start of the fiscal year or at any other specific date.
3. T he Wholesale Customers do not, by executing this Agreement, concede the legality of the SFPUC’s establishing Interim Supply Allocations, as provided in Article 4 or imposing Environmental Enhancement Surcharges on water use in excess of such allocations.
Any Wholesale Customer may challenge such allocation when imposed and/or such surcharges if and when levied, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
4. The furnishing of water in excess of the Supply Assurance by San Francisco to the Wholesale Customers shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver by San Francisco of its claim that it has no obligation under any provision of law to supply such water to the Wholesale Customers, nor shall it constitute a dedication by San Francisco to the Wholesale Customers of such water.
8.08. Prohibition of Assignment
A. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Wholesale Customer agrees that it will not transfer or assign any rights or privileges under this Agreement, either in whole or in part, or make any transfer of all or any part of its water system or allow the use thereof in any manner whereby any provision of this Agreement will not continue to be binding on it, its assignee or transferee, or such user of the system. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this covenant, and any assignment or transfer that would result in the supply of water in violation of the Act, shall be void.

93 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
B. N othing in this section shall prevent any Wholesale Customer (except the California Water Service Company and Stanford) from entering into a joint powers agreement or a municipal or multi-party water district with any other Wholesale Customer (except the two listed above) to exercise the rights and obligations granted to and imposed upon the Wholesale Customers hereunder, nor shall this section prevent any Wholesale Customer (except the two listed above) from succeeding to the rights and obligations of another Wholesale Customer hereunder as long as the Wholesale Service Area served by the Wholesale Customers involved in the succession is not thereby enlarged.
8.09. Notices
A. All notices and other documents that San Francisco is required or permitted to send to the Wholesale Customers under this Agreement shall be sent to each and all of the Wholesale Customers by United States mail, first class postage prepaid, addressed to each Wholesale Customer at the address to which monthly water bills are mailed by the Water Enterprise.
B. All notices or other documents which the Wholesale Customers are required or permitted to send to San Francisco under this Agreement shall be sent by United States mail, first class postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

General Manager/CEO
Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency
155 Bovet Road, Suite 650
San Mateo, CA 94402
The failure of San Francisco to send a copy of such notices or documents to BAWSCA shall not invalidate any rate set or other action taken by San Francisco. 170
Item # C8.
94 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
D. Any party (or BAWSCA) may change the address to which notice is to be sent to it under this Agreement by notice to San Francisco (in the case of a change desired by a Wholesale Customer or BAWSCA ) and to the Wholesale Customer and BAWSCA (in the case of a change desired by San Francisco).
The requirements for notice set forth in Section 8.01 concerning arbitration shall prevail over this section, when they are applicable.
8.10. Incorporation of Attachments
Attachments A through R, referred to herein, are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement.
8.11. Interpretation
In interpreting this Agreement, or any provision thereof, it shall be deemed to have been drafted by all signatories, and no presumption pursuant to Civil Code Section 1654 may be invoked to determine the Agreement’s meaning. The marginal headings and titles to the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are not a part of this Agreement and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
8.12. Actions and Approvals by San Francisco
Whenever action or approval by San Francisco is required or contemplated by this Agreement, authority to act or approve shall be exercised by the Commission, except if such action is required by law to be taken, or approval required to be given, by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. The Commission may delegate authority to the General Manager in accordance with the San Francisco City Charter and Administrative Code, except for actions that this Agreement requires to be taken by the Commission.
8.13. Counterparts
Execution of this Agreement may be accomplished by execution of separate counterparts by each signatory. San Francisco shall deliver its executed counterpart to BAWSCA and the counterpart which each Wholesale Customer executes shall be delivered to San Francisco. The separate executed counterparts, taken together, shall constitute a single agreement.

No party is liable for, or may recover from any other party, special, indirect or consequential damages or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits or revenue. No damages may be awarded for a breach of Section 8.17.
B. The limitations in subsection A apply only to claims for damages for an alleged breach of this Agreement. These limitations do not apply to claims for damages for an alleged breach of a legal duty that arises independently of this Agreement, established by constitution or statute.

8.15. Force Majeure
A. Excuse from Performance. No party shall be liable in damages to any other party for delay in performance of, or failure to perform, its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligations set forth in Sections 3.09 and 4.06, if such delay or failure is caused by a “Force Majeure Event.”
B. Notice. The party claiming excuse shall deliver to the other parties a written notice of intent to claim excuse from performance under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event. Notice required by this section shall be given promptly in light of the circumstances, and, in the case of events described in (c), (d) or (e) of the definition of Force Majeure Event only, not later than ten (10) days after the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event. Such notice shall describe the Force Majeure Event, the services impacted by the claimed event, the length of time that the party expects to be prevented from performing, and the steps which the party intends to take to restore its ability to perform.

than, required by the nature of the Force Majeure Event, and the party claiming excuse shall use its best efforts to remedy its inability to perform as quickly as possible.

97 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
Article 9. Implementation and Special Provisions Affecting Certain Wholesale Customers
9.01. General; Individual Water Sales Contracts
A. As described in Section 1.03, San Francisco previously entered into Individual Water Sales Contracts with each of the Wholesale Customers. The term of the majority of Individual Water Sales Contracts will expire on June 30, 2009, concurrently with the expiration of the 1984 Agreement. Except as provided below in this Article, each of the Wholesale Customers will execute a new Individual Water Sales Contract with San Francisco concurrently with its approval of the Agreement.
B. The Individual Water Sales Contracts will describe the service area of each Wholesale Customer, identify the location and size of connections between the Regional Water System and the Wholesale Customer’s distribution system, provide for periodic rendering and payment of bills for water usage, and in some instances contain additional specialized provisions unique to the particular Wholesale Customer and not of general concern or applicability. A sample Individual Water Sales Contract is provided at Attachment F. The Individual Water Sales Contracts between San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers will not contain any provision inconsistent with Articles 1 through 8 of this Agreement except (1) as provided below in this Article or (2) to the extent that such provisions are not in derogation of the Fundamental Rights of other Wholesale Customers under this Agreement. Any provisions in an Individual Water Sales Contract which are in violation of this section shall be void.
9.02. California Water Service Company
A. The parties recognize that the California Water Service Company is an investor- owned utility company and, as such, has no claim to co-grantee status under the Act, which specifically bars private parties from receiving for resale any water produced by the Hetch Hetchy portion of the Regional Water System. Accordingly, the following provisions shall apply to the California Water Service Company, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement.
B. The total quantity of water delivered by San Francisco to the California Water Service Company shall not in any calendar year exceed 47,400 acre feet, which is the estimated average annual production of Local System Water. If San Francisco develops additional Local System Water after the Effective Date, it may (1) increase the maximum 174
Item # C8.
98 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
delivery amount stated herein; and (2) increase the Supply Assurance, but not necessarily both.
San Francisco has no obligation to deliver water to California Water Service Company in excess of the maximum stated herein, except as such maximum may be increased by San Francisco pursuant to this subsection. The maximum annual quantity of Local System Water set forth in this subsection is intended to be a limitation on the total quantity of water that may be allocated to California Water Service Company, and is not an Individual Supply Guarantee for purposes of Section 3.02. The maximum quantity of Local System Water set forth in this subsection is subject to reduction in response to (1) changes in long-term hydrology or (2) environmental water requirements that may be imposed by or negotiated with state and federal resource agencies in order to comply with state or federal law or to secure applicable permits for construction of Regional Water System facilities. San Francisco shall notify California Water Service Company of any anticipated reduction of the quantity of Local System Water set forth in this subsection, along with an explanation of the basis for the reduction.
C. Notwithstanding anything in Section 8.08 to the contrary, California Water Service Company shall have the right to assign to a public agency having the power of eminent domain all or a portion of the rights of California Water Service Company under any contract between it and San Francisco applicable to any individual district of California Water Service Company in connection with the acquisition by such public agency of all or a portion of the water system of California Water Service Company in such district. In the event of any such assignment of all the rights, privileges and obligations of California Water Service Company under such contract, California Water Service Company shall be relieved of all further obligations under such contract provided that the assignee public agency expressly assumes the obligations of California Water Service Company thereunder. In the event of such an assignment of a portion of the rights, privileges and obligations of California Water Service Company under such contract, California Water Service Company shall be relieved of such portion of such obligations so assigned thereunder provided that the assignee public agency shall expressly assume such obligations so assigned to it.
D. Should California Water Service Company seek to take over or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, the service obligations of another Wholesale Customer under Section 3.03.E, it will so inform San Francisco at least six months prior to the effective date of the sale and provide information concerning the total additional demand proposed to be served, in order that San Francisco may compare the proposed additional demand to the then-current estimate of Local System Water. In this regard, California Water Service Company has notified 175
Item # C8.
99 2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
the SFPUC that it has reached an agreement to acquire the assets of Skyline County Water District (“Skyline”) and assume the responsibility for providing water service to customers in the Skyline service area. California Water Service Company has advised the SFPUC that, on September 18, 2008, the California Public Utilities Commission approved California Water Service Company’s acquisition of Skyline. The SFPUC anticipates approving the transfer of Skyline’s Supply Guarantee as shown on Attachment C to California Water Service Company and the expansion of California Water Service Company’s service area to include the current Skyline service area before the Effective Date of this Agreement. All parties to this Agreement authorize corresponding modifications of Attachment C, as well as any of the Agreement’s other provisions, to reflect the foregoing transaction without the necessity of amending this Agreement.
E. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude San Francisco from selling water to any county, city, town, district, political subdivision, or other public agency for resale to customers within the service area of the California Water Service Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall require or contemplate any delivery of water to California Water Service Company in violation of the Act.
F. Nothing in this Agreement shall alter, amend or modify the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the Judgment dated May 25, 1961, in that certain action entitled City and County of San Francisco v. California Water Service Company in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Marin, No. 23286, as modified by the Quitclaim Deed from California Water Service Company to San Francisco dated August 22, 1961. The rights and obligations of San Francisco and California Water Service Company under these documents shall continue as therein set forth.
9.03. City of Hayward
A. San Francisco and the City of Hayward (“Hayward”) entered into a water supply contract on February 9, 1962 (“the 1962 contract”) which provides, inter alia, that San Francisco will supply Hayward with all water supplemental to sources and supplies of water owned or controlled by Hayward as of that date, in sufficient quantity to supply the total water needs of the service area described on an exhibit to the 1962 contract “on a permanent basis.” The service area map attached as Exhibit C to the 1962 contract was amended in 1974 to remove an area of land in the Hayward hills and in 2008 to make minor boundary adjustments identified in SFPUC Resolution No. 08-0035.
176
Item # C8.
100
2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
B. The intention of the parties is to continue the 1962 contract, as amended, in effect as the Individual Water Sales Contract between San Francisco and Hayward.
Accordingly, it shall not be necessary for San Francisco and Hayward to enter into a new Individual Water Sales Contract pursuant to this Article and approval of this Agreement by Hayward shall constitute approval of both this Agreement and an Individual Water Sales Contract for purposes of Section 1.03. The 1962 contract, as amended, will continue to describe the service area of Hayward, while rates for water delivered to Hayward during the Term shall be governed by Article 5 hereof. The 1962 contract, as amended, will continue in force after the expiration of the Term.
9.04. Estero Municipal Improvement District
A. San Francisco and the Estero Municipal Improvement District (“Estero”) entered into a water supply contract on August 24, 1961, the term of which continues until August 24, 2011 (“the 1961 Contract”). The 1961 Contract provides, inter alia, that San Francisco will supply Estero with all water supplemental to sources and supplies of water owned or controlled by Estero as of that date, in sufficient quantity to supply the total water needs of the service area described on an exhibit to the 1961 Contract.
B. The intention of the parties is to terminate the 1961 Contract and replace it with a new Individual Water Sales Contract which will become effective on July 1, 2009. The new Individual Water Sales Contract will describe the current service area of Estero. The Individual Supply Guarantee applicable to Estero shall be 5.9 MGD, rather than being determined as provided in the 1961 Contract.
9.05. Stanford University
A. The parties recognize that The Board of Trustees of The Leland Stanford Junior University (“Stanford”) operates a non-profit university, and purchases water from San Francisco for redistribution to the academic and related facilities and activities of the university and to residents of Stanford, the majority of whom are either employed by or students of Stanford. Stanford agrees that all water furnished by San Francisco shall be used by Stanford only for domestic purposes and those directly connected with the academic and related facilities and activities of Stanford, and no water furnished by San Francisco shall be used in any area now or hereafter leased or otherwise used for industrial purposes or for commercial purposes 177
Item # C8.
101
2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
other than those campus support facilities that provide direct services to Stanford faculty, students or staff such as the U.S. Post Office, the bookstore and Student Union.
Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude San Francisco from selling water to any county, city, town, political subdivision or other public agency for resale to Stanford or to customers within the service area of Stanford.
B. Notwithstanding anything in Section 8.08 to the contrary, Stanford shall have the right to assign to a public agency having the power of eminent domain all or a portion of the rights of Stanford under this Agreement or the Individual Water Sales Contract between it and San Francisco in connection with the acquisition by such public agency of all or a portion of Stanford’s water system. In the event of any such assignment of all the rights, privileges, and obligations of Stanford under such contract, Stanford shall be relieved of all further obligations under such contract, provided that the assignee public agency expressly assumes Stanford’s obligations thereunder. In the event of such an assignment of a portion of the rights, privileges, and obligations of Stanford under such contract, Stanford shall be relieved of such obligations so assigned thereunder, provided that the assignee public agency shall expressly assume such obligations so assigned to it.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require or contemplate any delivery of water to Stanford in violation of the Act.
9.06. City of San Jose and City of Santa Clara
A. Continued Supply on Temporary, Interruptible Basis. During the term of the 1984 Agreement, San Francisco provided water to the City of San Jose (“San Jose”) and the City of Santa Clara (“Santa Clara”) on a temporary, interruptible basis pursuant to SFPUC Resolution No. 85-0256. Subject to termination or reduction of supply as provided in Section
4.05 of this Agreement, San Francisco will continue to supply water to San Jose and Santa Clara on a temporary, interruptible basis pending a decision by the Commission, pursuant to Section 4.05.H, as to whether to make San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers of the Regional Water System. San Francisco will furnish water to San Jose and Santa Clara at the same rates as those applicable to other Wholesale Customers pursuant to this Agreement.
Water delivered to San Jose and Santa Clara after July 1, 2009 may be limited by the SFPUC’s ability to meet the full needs of all its other Retail and Wholesale Customers. The service areas of San Jose and Santa Clara set forth in their Individual Water Sales Contracts may not be 178
Item # C8.
102
2021 Amended and Restated WSA 17162043.1
expanded using the procedure set forth in Section 3.03. The combined annual average water usage of San Jose and Santa Clara shall not exceed 9 MGD. The allocation of that total amount between San Jose and Santa Clara shall be as set forth in their Individual Water Sales Contracts.
B. Reservation of Rights. In signing this Agreement, neither San Jose nor Santa Clara waives any of its rights to contend, in the event that San Francisco (1) elects to terminate or interrupt water deliveries to either or both of the two cities prior to 2028 using the process set forth in Section 4.05, or (2) does not elect to take either city on as a permanent customer in 2028, that it is entitled to permanent customer status, pursuant to the Act or any other federal or state law. Santa Clara's reservation of rights is limited to its existing Service Area A, as shown on Attachment Q-2. Service Area B, south of Highway 101, was added in 2018 solely for the operational convenience of Santa Clara. Santa Clara waives its right to make claims described in this Section 9.06.B and Section 8.07.B.3 with respect to Service Area B. In signing this Agreement, San Francisco does not waive its right to deny any or all such contentions.
9.07. City of Brisbane, Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District, Town of Hillsborough
A. The parties acknowledge that San Francisco has heretofore provided certain quantities of water to the City of Brisbane (“Brisbane”), Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District (“Guadalupe”) and the Town of Hillsborough (“Hillsborough”) at specified rates or without charge pursuant to obligations arising out of agreements between the predecessors of San Francisco and these parties, which agreements are referred to in judicial orders, resolutions of the SFPUC and/or the 1960 contracts between San Francisco and Brisbane, Guadalupe and Hillsborough. The parties intend to continue those arrangements and accordingly agree as follows:
1. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter, amend or modify the terms of SFPUC Resolution No. 74-0653 or the indenture of July 18, 1908 between the Guadalupe Development Company and the Spring Valley Water Company.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter, amend or modify the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Judgment dated May 25, 1961 in that certain action entitled City and County of San Francisco v. Town of Hillsborough in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Marin, No. 23282, as modified by the Satisfaction of Judgment filed October 23, 1961 and the Compromise and Release between 179

Hillsborough and San Francisco dated August 22, 1961. The rights and obligations of Hillsborough under these documents shall continue as therein set forth.
3. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to affect or prejudice any claims, rights or remedies of Guadalupe or of Crocker Estate Company, a corporation, or of Crocker Land Company, a corporation, or of San Francisco, or of their successors and assigns, respectively, with respect to or arising out of that certain deed dated May 22, 1884, from Charles Crocker to Spring Valley Water Works, a corporation, recorded on May 24, 1884, in Book 37 of Deeds at page 356, Records of San Mateo County, California, as amended by that certain Deed of Exchange of Easements in Real Property and Agreement for Trade in Connection Therewith, dated July 29, 1954, recorded on August 4, 1954, in Book 2628, at page 298, Official Records of said San Mateo County, or with respect to or arising out of that certain action involving the validity or enforceability of certain provisions of said deed entitled City and County of San Francisco v. Crocker Estate Company, in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Marin, No. 23281.

PROCEDURE FOR PRO-RATA REDUCTION OF WHOLESALE CUSTOMERS' INDIVIDUAL
SUPPLY GUARANTEES
(SECTION 3.02).
The 23 wholesale customers listed on Attachment C have individual Supply Guarantees that total approximately 161.9 MGD.
If the amount of water purchased from SFPUC by Hayward exceeds 22.1 MGD for three consecutive fiscal years, the individual Supply Guarantees of each of those 23 wholesale customers will be reduced as described below.
STEP ONE:
Obtain the average annual excess purchases during the three fiscal year period. For example, assume Hayward uses 25.0 MGD, 24.2 MGD and 26.0 MGD in three consecutive years. The average annual excess use for that period is 2.9 MGD; calculated as follows:
(25.0 MGD + 24.2 MGD + 26.0 MGD) + 161.9 MGD = 186.9 MGD 3 186.9 MGD -184.0 MGD = 2.9 MGD
STEP TWO:
Allocate the excess purchases among the 23 Wholesale Customers in proportion to each customer's Supply Guarantee as a percentage of the total Supply Guarantees (161.9 MGD as of FY 2009-10).
For example, assume that Wholesale Customer A's Supply Guarantee is 12.0 MGD.
Wholesale Customer A's percentage share of the total individual supply guarantees is 0.074, calculated as follows:
'12.0 MGD
161.9 MGD = 0.074
and its share of the excess use is 0.22 MGD, calculated as follows:
2.9 MGD x 0.074 = 0.22 MGD
i 866408.4 197
Item # C8.
STEP THREE:
Determine Wholesale Customer's adjusted Supply Guarantee by subtracting the result of Step Two from the Wholesale Customer's Supply Guarantee:
12 MGD - 0.22 MGD = 11.78 MGD
**********
Adjustments will be made at intervals comprised of distinct three-year periods of use by Hayward in excess of 22.1 MGD rather than overlapping periods. For example, assuming that the first adjustment were to occur in FY 2014-15 (based on use during FY 2011-12, FY 2012-13 and FY 2013-14), a second adjustment will not occur earlier than three full fiscal years thereafter (Le., FY 2017-18, based on use by Hayward in FY 2014-15, FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17). The figures used in the second and subsequent adjustments will reflect previous adjustments. For example, a second adjustment will use 158.9 MGD as the total of individual Supply Guarantees (161.6 MGD -
2.7 MGD = 158.9 MGD).
For purposes of simplicity, the volumetric units used in the foregoing example are MGD. For actual adjustment calculations, the unit employed will be hundreds of cubic feet ("ccf'), the unit by which the SFPUC measures water deliveries for billing purposes.
The procedure described and illustrated above is
independent of and unrelated to the establishment
by the SFPUC of Interim Supply Limitations
described in Article 4.

WATER SHORTAGE ALLOCATION PLAN
This Interim Water Shortage Allocation Plan (“Plan”) describes the method for allocating water between the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (“SFPUC”) and the Wholesale Customers collectively during shortages caused by drought. The Plan implements a method for allocating water among the individual Wholesale Customers which has been adopted by the Wholesale Customers. The Plan includes provisions for transfers, banking, and excess use charges. The Plan applies only when the SFPUC determines that a system-wide water shortage due to drought exists, and all references to “shortages” and “water shortages” are to be so understood. This Plan was adopted pursuant to Section 7.03(a) of the 1984 Settlement Agreement and Master Water Sales Contract and has been updated to correspond to the terminology used in the June 2009 Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of San Francisco and Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County and Santa Clara County ("Agreement").
SECTION 1. SHORTAGE CONDITIONS
1.1. Projected Available SFPUC Water Supply. The SFPUC shall make an annual determination as to whether or not a shortage condition exists. The determination of projected available water supply shall consider, among other things, stored water, projected runoff, water acquired by the SFPUC from non-SFPUC sources, inactive storage, reservoir losses, allowance for carryover storage, and water bank balances, if any, described in Section 3.
1.2 Projected SFPUC Purchases. The SFPUC will utilize purchase data, including volumes of water purchased by the Wholesale Customers and by Retail Customers (as those terms are used in the Agreement) in the year immediately prior to the drought, along with other available relevant information, as a basis for determining projected system-wide water purchases from the SFPUC for the upcoming year.
1.3. Shortage Conditions. The SFPUC will compare the available water supply (Section 1.1) with projected system-wide water purchases (Section 1.2). A shortage condition exists if the SFPUC determines that the projected available water supply is less than projected system-wide water purchases in the upcoming Supply Year (defined as the period from July 1 through June 30). When a shortage condition exists, SFPUC will determine whether voluntary or mandatory actions will be required to reduce purchases of SFPUC water to required levels.
1.3.1 Voluntary Response. If the SFPUC determines that voluntary actions will be sufficient to accomplish the necessary reduction in water use throughout its service area, the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers will make good faith efforts to reduce their water purchases to stay within their annual shortage allocations and associated monthly water use budgets. The SFPUC will not impose excess use charges during periods of voluntary rationing, but may suspend the prospective accumulation of water bank credits, or impose a ceiling on further accumulation of bank credits, consistent with Section 3.2.1 of this Plan.
212
Item # C8.
2 15017932.1
1.3.2 Mandatory Response. If the SFPUC determines that mandatory actions will be required to accomplish the necessary reduction in water use in the SFPUC service area, the SFPUC may implement excess use charges as set forth in Section 4 of this Plan.
1.4. Period of Shortage. A shortage period commences when the SFPUC determines that a water shortage exists, as set forth in a declaration of water shortage emergency issued by the SFPUC pursuant to California Water Code Sections 350 et seq. Termination of the water shortage emergency will be declared by resolution of the SFPUC.
SECTION 2. SHORTAGE ALLOCATIONS
2.1. Annual Allocations between the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers. The annual water supply available during shortages will be allocated between the SFPUC and the collective Wholesale Customers as follows:
Level of System Wide
Reduction in Water Use
Required
Share of Available Water
SFPUC Share Wholesale Customers
Share
5% or less
6% through 10%
11% through 15%
16% through 20%
35.5%
36.0%
37.0%
37.5%
64.5%
64.0%
63.0%
62.5%
The water allocated to the SFPUC shall correspond to the total allocation for all Retail Customers. In the event that the SFPUC share of the available water supply in the above table results in Retail Customers having a positive allocation (i.e., a supply of additional water rather than a required percentage reduction in water use), the SFPUC’s percentage share of the available water supply in the table shall be reduced to eliminate any positive allocation to Retail Customers, with a corresponding increase in the percentage share of the available water supply allocated to the Wholesale Customers. For any level of required reduction in system-wide water use during shortages, the SFPUC shall require Retail Customers to conserve a minimum of 5%, with any resulting reallocated supply credited to storage for inclusion in calculation of projected available water SFPUC water supply in a subsequent year (Section 1.1).
The parties agree to reevaluate the percentages of the available water supply allocated to Retail and Wholesale Customers by May 1, 2028.
2.2 Annual Allocations among the Wholesale Customers. The annual water supply allocated to the Wholesale Customers collectively during system wide shortages of 20 percent or less will be apportioned among them based on a methodology adopted by all of the Wholesale Customers, as described in Section 3.11(C) of the Agreement. In any year for which the methodology must be applied, the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (“BAWSCA”) will calculate each Wholesale Customer’s individual percentage share of the amount of water allocated to the Wholesale Customers collectively pursuant to Section 2.1. Following the declaration or reconfirmation of a water shortage emergency by the SFPUC, BAWSCA will deliver to the SFPUC General Manager a list, signed by the President of BAWSCA’s Board of Directors and 213
Item # C8.
3 15017932.1
its General Manager, showing each Wholesale Customer together with its percentage share and stating that the list has been prepared in accordance with the methodology adopted by the Wholesale Customers. The SFPUC shall allocate water to each Wholesale Customer, as specified in the list. The shortage allocations so established may be transferred as provided in Section 2.5 of this Plan. If BAWSCA or all Wholesale Customers do not provide the SFPUC with individual allocations, the SFPUC may make a final allocation decision after first meeting and discussing allocations with BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers.
The methodology adopted by the Wholesale Customers utilizes the rolling average of each individual Wholesale Customer’s purchases from the SFPUC during the three immediately preceding Supply Years. The SFPUC agrees to provide BAWSCA by November 1 of each year a list showing the amount of water purchased by each Wholesale Customer during the immediately preceding Supply Year. The list will be prepared using Customer Service Bureau report MGT440 (or comparable official record in use at the time), adjusted as required for any reporting errors or omissions, and will be transmitted by the SFPUC General Manager or his designee.
2.3. Limited Applicability of Plan to System Wide Shortages Greater Than Twenty Percent. The allocations of water between the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers collectively, provided for in Section 2.1, apply only to shortages of 20 percent or less. The SFPUC and Wholesale Customers recognize the possibility of a drought occurring which could create system-wide shortages greater than 20 percent despite actions taken by the SFPUC aimed at reducing the probability and severity of water shortages in the SFPUC service area. If the SFPUC determines that a system wide water shortage greater than 20 percent exists, the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers agree to meet within 10 days and discuss whether a change is required to the allocation set forth in Section 2.1 in order to mitigate undue hardships that might otherwise be experienced by individual Wholesale Customers or Retail Customers. Following these discussions, the Tier 1 water allocations set forth in Section 2.1 of this Plan, or a modified version thereof, may be adopted by mutual written consent of the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers. If the SFPUC and Wholesale Customers meet and cannot agree on an appropriate Tier 1 allocation within 30 days of the SFPUC’s determination of water shortage greater than 20 percent, then (1) the provisions of Section 3.11(C) of the Agreement will apply, unless (2) all of the Wholesale Customers direct in writing that a Tier 2 allocation methodology agreed to by them be used to apportion the water to be made available to the Wholesale Customers collectively, in lieu of the provisions of Section 3.11(C).
The provisions of this Plan relating to transfers (in Section 2.5), banking (in Section 3), and excess use charges (in Section 4) shall continue to apply during system-wide shortages greater than 20 percent.
2.4. Monthly Water Budgets. Within 10 days after adopting a declaration of water shortage emergency, the SFPUC will determine the amount of Tier 1 water allocated to the Wholesale Customers collectively pursuant to Section 2.1. The SFPUC General Manager, using the Tier 2 allocation percentages shown on the list delivered by BAWSCA pursuant to Section 2.2, will calculate each Wholesale Customer’s individual annual allocation. The SFPUC General Manager, or his designee, will then provide each Wholesale Customer with a proposed schedule of monthly water budgets based on the pattern of monthly water purchases during the Supply Year immediately preceding the declaration of shortage (the “Default Schedule”). Each 214
Item # C8.
4 15017932.1
Wholesale Customer may, within two weeks of receiving its Default Schedule, provide the SFPUC with an alternative monthly water budget that reschedules its annual Tier 2 shortage allocation over the course of the succeeding Supply Year. If a Wholesale Customer does not deliver an alternative monthly water budget to the SFPUC within two weeks of its receipt of the Default Schedule, then its monthly budget for the ensuing Supply Year shall be the Default Schedule proposed by the SFPUC.
Monthly Wholesale Customer water budgets will be derived from annual Tier 2 allocations for purposes of accounting for excess use. Monthly Wholesale Customer water budgets shall be adjusted during the year to account for transfers of shortage allocation under Section 2.5 and transfers of banked water under Section 3.4.
2.5. Transfers of Shortage Allocations. Voluntary transfers of shortage allocations between the SFPUC and any Wholesale Customers, and between any Wholesale Customers, will be permitted using the same procedure as that for transfers of banked water set forth in Section 3.4. The SFPUC and BAWSCA shall be notified of each transfer. Transfers of shortage allocations shall be deemed to be an emergency transfer and shall become effective on the third business day after notice of the transfer has been delivered to the SFPUC. Transfers of shortage allocations shall be in compliance with Section 3.05 of the Agreement. The transferring parties will meet with the SFPUC, if requested, to discuss any effect the transfer may have on its operations.
SECTION 3. SHORTAGE WATER BANKING
3.1. Water Bank Accounts. The SFPUC shall create a water bank account for itself and each Wholesale Customer during shortages in conjunction with its resale customer billing process.
Bank accounts will account for amounts of water that are either saved or used in excess of the shortage allocation for each agency; the accounts are not used for tracking billings and payments. When a shortage period is in effect (as defined in Section 1.4), the following provisions for bank credits, debits, and transfers shall be in force. A statement of bank balance for each Wholesale Customer will be included with the SFPUC’s monthly water bills.
3.2. Bank Account Credits. Each month, monthly purchases will be compared to the monthly budget for that month. Any unused shortage allocation by an agency will be credited to that agency’s water bank account. Credits will accumulate during the entire shortage period, subject to potential restrictions imposed pursuant to Section 3.2.1. Credits remaining at the end of the shortage period will be zeroed out; no financial or other credit shall be granted for banked water.
3.2.1. Maximum Balances. The SFPUC may suspend the prospective accumulation of credits in all accounts. Alternatively, the SFPUC may impose a ceiling on further accumulation of credits in water bank balances based on a uniform ratio of the bank balance to the annual water allocation. In making a decision to suspend the prospective accumulation of water bank credits, the SFPUC shall consider the available water supply as set forth in Section 1.1 of this Plan and other reasonable, relevant factors.
3.3. Account Debits. Each month, monthly purchases will be compared to the budget for that month. Purchases in excess of monthly budgets will be debited against an agency’s water bank account. Bank debits remaining at the end of the fiscal year will be subject to excess use charges (see Section 4).
215
Item # C8.
5 15017932.1
3.4. Transfers of Banked Water. In addition to the transfers of shortage allocations provided for in Section 2.5, voluntary transfers of banked water will also be permitted between the SFPUC and any Wholesale Customer, and among the Wholesale Customers. The volume of transferred water will be credited to the transferee’s water bank account and debited against the transferor’s water bank account. The transferring parties must notify the SFPUC and BAWSCA of each transfer in writing (so that adjustments can be made to bank accounts), and will meet with the SFPUC, if requested, to discuss any affect the transfer may have on SFPUC operations.
Transfers of banked water shall be deemed to be an emergency transfer and shall become effective on the third business day after notice of the transfer has been delivered to the SFPUC.
If the SFPUC incurs extraordinary costs in implementing transfers, it will give written notice to the transferring parties within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of the transfer.
Extraordinary costs means additional costs directly attributable to accommodating transfers and which are not incurred in non-drought years nor simply as a result of the shortage condition itself. Extraordinary costs shall be calculated in accordance with the procedures in the Agreement and shall be subject to the disclosure and auditing requirements in the Agreement. In the case of transfers between Wholesale Customers, such extraordinary costs shall be considered to be expenses chargeable solely to individual Wholesale Customers and shall be borne equally by the parties to the transfer. In the case of transfers between the SFPUC and a Wholesale Customer, the SFPUC’s share of any extraordinary transfer costs shall not be added to the Wholesale Revenue Requirement.
3.4.1. Transfer Limitations. The agency transferring banked water will be allowed to transfer no more than the accumulated balance in its bank. Transfers of estimated prospective banked credits and the “overdrafting” of accounts shall not be permitted. The price of transfer water originally derived from the SFPUC system is to be determined by the transferring parties and is not specified herein. Transfers of banked water shall be in compliance with Section 3.05 of the Agreement.
SECTION 4. WHOLESALE EXCESS USE CHARGES
4.1. Amount of Excess Use Charges. Monthly excess use charges shall be determined by the SFPUC at the time of the declared water shortage consistent with the calendar in Section 6 and in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Agreement. The excess use charges will be in the form of multipliers applied to the rate in effect at the time the excess use occurs. The same excess use charge multipliers shall apply to the Wholesale Customers and all Retail Customers. The excess use charge multipliers apply only to the charges for water delivered at the rate in effect at the time the excess use occurred.
4.2 Monitoring Suburban Water Use. During periods of voluntary rationing, water usage greater than a customer’s allocation (as determined in Section 2) will be indicated on each SFPUC monthly water bill. During periods of mandatory rationing, monthly and cumulative water usage greater than a Wholesale Customer’s shortage allocation and the associated excess use charges will be indicated on each SFPUC monthly water bill.
4.3. Suburban Excess Use Charge Payments. An annual reconciliation will be made of monthly excess use charges according to the calendar in Section 6. Annual excess use charges will be calculated by comparing total annual purchases for each Wholesale Customer with its 216
Item # C8.
6 15017932.1
annual shortage allocation (as adjusted for transfers of shortage allocations and banked water, if any). Excess use charge payments by those Wholesale Customers with net excess use will be paid according to the calendar in Section 6. The SFPUC may dedicate excess use charges paid by Wholesale Customers toward the purchase of water from the State Drought Water Bank or other willing sellers in order to provide additional water to the Wholesale Customers. Excess use charges paid by the Wholesale Customers constitute Wholesale Customer revenue and shall be included within the SFPUC's annual Wholesale Revenue Requirement calculation.
SECTION 5. GENERAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING WATER SHORTAGE
ALLOCATION PLAN
5.1. Construction of Terms. This Plan is for the sole benefit of the parties and shall not be construed as granting rights to any person other than the parties or imposing obligations on a party to any person other than another party.
5.2. Governing Law. This Plan is made under and shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
5.3. Effect on Agreement. This Plan describes the method for allocating water between the SFPUC and the collective Wholesale Customers during system-wide water shortages of 20 percent or less. This Plan also provides for the SFPUC to allocate water among the Wholesale Customers in accordance with directions provided by the Wholesale Customers through BAWSCA under Section 2.2, and to implement a program by which such allocations may be voluntarily transferred among the Wholesale Customers. The provisions of this Plan are intended to implement Section 3.11(C) of the Agreement and do not affect, change or modify any other section, term or condition of the Agreement.
5.4. Inapplicability of Plan to Allocation of SFPUC System Water During Non-Shortage Periods. The SFPUC’s agreement in this Plan to a respective share of SFPUC system water during years of shortage shall not be construed to provide a basis for the allocation of water between the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers when no water shortage emergency exists.
5.5. Termination. This Plan shall expire at the end of the Term of the Agreement.. The SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers can mutually agree to revise or terminate this Plan prior to that date due to changes in the water delivery capability of the SFPUC system, the acquisition of new water supplies, and other factors affecting the availability of water from the SFPUC system during times of shortage.
SECTION 6. ALLOCATION CALENDAR
6.1. Annual Schedule. The annual schedule for the shortage allocation process is shown below.

SECTION A. WATERMETERS
1. General
The Agreement provides that certain operating and maintenance expenses and the capital cost òf certain categories of utility plant in service are to be allocated between San Francisco and . i
the Wholesale Customer~ on the basis of proportionate ännual usage of the Regional Water' System. The purpose of this Attachment is to describe the meters) and ilustrate the method by which proportionate anual usage wil be calculated.
2. Units of Measurement, Rounding, Conversion
The SFPUC wil compile the usage data required to complete Table 1 anually.. The . units of measurement and'conventions for converting and rounding wil be as follows.
The data in the Table 1 will be presented, and the calculationS contemplated by this Attachment shown, in imits of milions of gallons per day (mgd), rounded tothe nearest tenth of an mgd~Percentages (e.g., the City and Wholesale usa~e rates) shall be carried to two digits to the right ofthedecimal point and reduction factors shall be carried to four digits to the right of the decimal point. Data compiled by the SFPUC in units of hundreds of cubic feet per year (cd) shall be converted to mgd by multiplying hundreds of cubic feet per year by 0.0000020493 (or
2.0493 x 10'6) for non-leap years and 0.0000020437 (or 2.0437 x 10'6) for leap years, In founding, if the rightmost digit dropped is 0 through 4, the preceding digit shall be left u!lchanged; if the rightmost digit dropped is 5 through 9, the preceding digit shall be increased by l.

3. Location of Meters/Gauges
The SFPUC presently maintains meters and gauges that have been used to determine the proportionate usage of the Regional Water System, in accordance with the methods and calculations described in Exhibit J to the 1984 contract between San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers. These meters consist of "County-Line Meters," "In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters" and "System Input and In-line Meters" as described in the following subsections. As new capital improvement projects are designed and constructed by the SFPUC, it may be necessary for new meters to be installed to ensure continued accurate determinations of the proportionate usage of the Regional Water System. "Planned meters" are included in the following subsections where planed capital improvement projects are likely to require the installation of additional meters.
a. County-line Meters
The SFPUC presently maintains meters at or near the San Mateo-San Francisco County line to measure flow through all transmission pipelines entering the City ("County-line Meters").
The existing and planned County-line Meters are listed in Table 2 and shown on Figures 1 and 2.
Additional details pertaining to the County-line meters located at the Lake Merced Pump Station, and specifically to water deliveries from the pump station to Sunset Reservoir, Sutro Reservoir, and Lake Merced are provided below.
(1) County-Line deliveries to Sunsetand Sutro Reservoirs Water delivered to the City through the Sunset Supply Pipeline may be pumped from the Lake Merced Pump Station to either Sunset Reservoir or Sutro Reservoir located within the City. When water is pumped from the Lake Merced Pump Station to both Sunset and Sutro reservoirs simultaneously, the recording instrumentation on the Sunset and Sutro venturi meters are designed to record flows through both meters.
When water is pumped to Sutro Reservoir only (typically utilizing Pump NO.4 at the 3 March 11, 2009
223
Item # C8.
Lake Merced Pump Station), the source water is from the Sunset Reservoir (not the County-line), and the direction of flow through the Sunset venturi meter is reversed.
Under this pumping scenario, the recording instrumentation on the Sunset and Sutro venturi meters are designed to not record flow on their respective recorders such that the in-City transfer of water between Sunset and Sutro Reservoirs is not included as a County-line delivery to the City. Figure 2 provides a generalized schematic of the Lake Merced Pump Station and the typical direction of flow from the County-line, through the pump station.
(2) County-line deliveries to Lake Merced
In order to raise and maintain water levels in Lake Merced, the SFPUC occasionally delivers water directly from the Regional Water System to Lake Merced. Deliveries from the Regional Water System to Lake Merced are accomplished at the Lake Merced Pump Station. The procedure involves operating valves on the suction side of Sunset Pump NO.2 such that water may flow by gravity in the Sunset Supply Pipeline, from San Mateo County, across the County-line and into San Francisco, through Lake Merced Pump Station and into the Lake Merced wet welL. A 16-inch pipeline connection on the suction side of Sunset Pump NO.2 allows for deliveries of water to the wet well (see Figure 2). Water deliveries from the Regional Water System to Lake Merced are considered County-line deliveries and an in-City usage in the calculation of water allocation rates.
b. In-City Terminal Reservoirs
Water usage by the City includes water deliveries from the SFPUC's "terminal reservoirs." The terminal reservoirs are: 1) Sunset Reservoir, 2) University Mound Reservoir, and 3) Merced Manor Reservoir. The terminal reservoirs are shown on Figure 1. c. System Input and In-Line Meters
4 March 11, 2009
224
Item # C8.
The SFPUC presently measures water flow into and through the Regional System utilizing "System Input and In-Line Meters." The existing and planned System Input and In- Line Meters are listed in Table 3 and shown on Figure 3. d. Wholesale Customer Meters and City Retail Customer Meters Located Outside the Boundaries of the City
The SFPUC presently measures water deliv~ries from the Regional Water System to its Wholesale Customers at various locations where the water delivery systems of the individual Wholesale Customers tie into the Regional Water System. The meters at these locations are referred to as the Wholesale Customers' "master meters." The SFPUCalso measures water deliveries from the Regional Water System to other customers located outside of the boundaries of the City that are not Wholesale Customers. Water deliveries to the Wholesale Customers and Retail Customers outside the City's boundaries that receive water from the Regional Water System are accounted for by the SFPUC's Customer Service Division as described in Section B.
4. Replacement and Relocation of Meters, Gauges, and Recording Devices.
The SFPUC presently equips all of its large venturi meters with differential pressure transmitters. The smaller meters utilize other methods and equipment to register and record flows. The SFPUC will maintain the meters, gauges, and recording devices described above in subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) unless and until such meters, gauges, and recording devices are replaced.
The SFPUC may replace the meters, gauges, and recording devices described above in subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) or install new meters, gauges, and recording devices at new locations, provided that such changes do not diminish the accuracy of the water flow measurements or impair the ability of the SFPUC to separate direct City water use from water use by the wholesale customers. Maintenance and calibration procedures for new or replaced equipment may change. Modified maintenance and calibration procedures for new or replaced equipment will conform to industry standards set forth in A WWA Manual M33, the applicable 5 March 11, 2009
225
Item # C8.
standards in the International Society of Automation, and will implement the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance and calibration. The SFPUC will provide BA WSCA with advance written notice of any such changes, together with a brief explanation of the reasons therefor and a description of the type and location of the replacement. Such notice shall automatically amend the list of meters, gauges, and recording devices set forth above in subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d).
5. Recording of Water Flow Data
a. Flow Data
The City shall record and maintain data measuring base water flow throughout the SFPUC Regional Water System as necessary to determine proportional annual water usage. b. Reservoir Data
The SFPUC shall record and maintain data measuring the levels of the terminal reservoirs described above in subsection A.3.b and shown on Figure 1 on an hourly basis. Flow values derived from reservoir level readings for all reservoirs in the SFPUC wholesale system shall be calculated using the tables contained in the SFPUC publication "Reservoir Data" (aka "The Weir Book"), which set forth the relationship between reservoir levels and water volumes, as such tables may be amended from time to time to reflect changes in the volumes of the various reservoirs. The tables to be used initially shall be those from the current edition of The Weir Book.
SECTION B. CALCULA TION OF PROPORTIONAL ANNUAL

SECTION D. COUNTY LINE AND IN-CITY TERMINAL RESERVOIR METER CALIBRA nON AND MAINTENANCE
i. General
This section refers only to the County-Line and In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters. The term "meter(s)" includes the primary meter.itself (most of the primary meters in the SFPUC's water system are Venturi-type flow meters) as well as any and all of the associated equipment used to measure, record, and transmit flow and water level data. The metering equipment associated with the primary metering device (also referred to as the secondary metering equipment) includes differential pressure transmitters, recorders, telecommunications equipment and the portion of the SFPUC's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System that is used to transmit flow and water level measurements from the water meter to the computer terminal that records the measured data.
The County-Line and In-City Terminal Reservoir meters, their general locations, and their associated metering equipment are listed in Table 4.
2. Frequency and Type of Work to be Performed
The meters, water level sensors, and associated metering equipment are to be inspected, tested, calibrated, and maintained according to the applicable meter calibration and maintenance frequency specified in Table 5.
3. Components of the Calibration and Maintenance Work
17 March i i, 2009
237
Item # C8.
The SFPUC will contract with an independent metering consultant to perform periodic inspections, testing, servicing and calibrations of the meters and metering equipment for the County-line meters and In-City Terminal Reservoirs. The metering consultant's calibration and maintenance work wil include the following components: . · Annual Pitot Tube Tests: Pitot tube flow tests shall be performed once a year on all . Venturi-type flow meters. See Sections 4.b and 4.c for further detaiL. · Quarterly Secondary Meter Equipment Testing and Calibration: The secondary metering equipment shall be tested for accuracy and calibrated quarterly at five input levels (0%, 25%, 50%,75% and 100% of the full range of flow). See Section 4.a for further detaiL. · Cleaning: Clean and remove dust, oils, dirt, etc. from all instruments. · Flushing: Flush and clean Venturi tube differential pressure (D/P) sensing lines. · Inspecting: Inspections for mechanical fatigue, leaky pipes and fittings, worn parts, and improper operation of electrical/electronic equipment.
· Lubrication: Mechanical parts shall be lubricated as needed.
4. Calibration Procedures
The metering consultant shall continue to calibrate and maintain the County-line meters and metering equipment listed in Table 4 in accordance with the frequency of work specified in Table 5. The work includes documenting meter readings and accuracy before and after calibration. Specific tasks to be completed by the metering consultant are as follows:
a) Quarterly testing and calibration. The secondary metering equipment shall be tested and calibrated quarerly using NIST Traceable test equipment, and a "dead weight tester." 18 March i i, 2009
238
Item # C8.
The system loop error for the secondary metering equipment is determined by connecting its output to the differential pressure transmitter and adjusting the dead weight tester to 5 places over the full range of flow: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, while all instruments in the loop are connected. For water level transmitters, provide simulated test head equal to full range of the transmitter being calibrated, comparing the simulated test head to its 4-20 miliamp output signal to determine transmitter error and calibration requirements.
The system loop error for the secondary metering equipment may not exceed +/-2%. The individual components of the secondary metering equipment shall also be tested at the same 5 input levels and calibrated as necessary to ensure the error of the system and individual components does not exceed +/- 2%.
b) Anual Pitot Tube Testing and Calibration. Annual Pitot tube testing shall be conducted for a comparison of flow totalized by the Pitot tube test equipment and the totalizer used by the SFPUC for water measurement and biling purposes. Annual Pitot tube flow testing shall be performed on all flow meters for assessment of Venturi error using the Annubar continuous flow method at 22%ofthe pipe radius. Pitot tube flow testing must be conducted continuously for a minimum of 30 minutes per test.
The Pitot tube flow tests are first performed before any of the secondary metering instruments are calibrated to determine the total system error (system consisting of the primary metering device and secondary metering equipment). Once the total system loop. error has been established, perform secondary loop instrument testing and calibration as per the quarterly testing and calibration procedures described in 4.a above. If the total system error exceeds +/- 2% after calibration of the secondary metering equipment, minor adjustments to the differential pressure transmitter shall be made to correct (calibrate) the error in the Venturi meter. Repeat Pitot tube testing must be performed after the individual instrument calibration and differential pressure transmitter adjustments have been performed to establish that total system loop error is within +/- 2%.
19 March 11, 2009
239
Item # C8.
c) Pitot tube testing shall be conducted at a flow rate representing the typical flow for the meter (and, if operationally possible, at three different flows ranging from a minimum to near maximum capacity flow).
d) The metering consultant shall perform the meter testing and calibration procedures utilizing the meter characteristic curves (for example, the pressure drop vs. flow for a Venturi meter) that have been obtained during previous meter calibration and maintenance work.
e) During each quarerly site visit, the metering consultant shall tnspect, assess and document the condition of all metering equipment, including meter, gauges, indicators, recorders, transmitters and other instrumentation, used in the measurement and recording offlow rates and cumulative flow totals and shall document all operational problems with. the calibration instruments and meters during the calibration process. Problems may include air entrainment, leakage, flow disturbance and unstable meter readings. f) Prior to each quarterly site visit, the metering consultant shall review prior calibration records and reports for each meter to determine if previously-identified errors or equipment deficiencies were corrected as previously recommended. g) Each quarter, the metering consultant shall submit a final report (See Section 6) containing all of the calibration results for each meter tested and calibrated during the quarter. The metering consultant's report shall include a narrative description of the work conducted on each meter and meter calibration reports for the individual metering equipment. The quarterly report shall also address deficiencies that were not previously corrected according to the recommendations made in the prior report.
5. Calibration Instruments
The instrument used for flow testing of the primary meter (Venturi) must meet the accuracy standards required by the American Water Works Association (AWWA), and be 20 March i i, 2009
240
Item # C8.
capable of measuring actual flows with an error of less than +/- 2%. If a particular calibration instrument is not rated for accuracy by the A WWA, its accuracy wil be determined by reference to its manufacturer's representations as to accuracy.
6. Calibration Reports
Within foureen (14) working days after the beginning of each quarter, the metering consultant shall submit a written progress report of the work performed during the previous quarter. Each quarterly report wil describe the results of the meter calibrations and any other tasks performed. The report wil also include comments regarding any observations of abnormal conditions and any recommendations regarding these meters and their related equipment.
