3.1. Scope of Services
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Services will be performed by Xerox and/or its Affiliates in accordance with the requirements set forth in an Order. If Customer fails to perform or is delayed in performing any of its responsibilities under this Agreement, such failure or delay may prevent Xerox from being able to perform any part of the Services or Xerox-related activities. Xerox shall be entitled to an extension or revision of the applicable term of the Order (which may include setting a new expected date for commencement of Services) or to an equitable adjustment in performance metrics associated with such failure or delay. Xerox grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to access and use the Services only for the purpose of such Customer and its designees receiving the benefit of the Services set forth in the applicable SOW.
3.2. Charges for Services
Charges for Services are set forth in the applicable Order. Charges are based upon information exchanged between Customer and Xerox, which is assumed to be complete and accurate, and also depend upon other factors such as the timely performance by Customer of its responsibilities. If: (a) such information should prove to be incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect; or (b) there is a failure or delay by the Customer in performing its responsibilities under this Agreement or an Order which results in Xerox incurring a loss or additional cost or expense, then the charges shall be adjusted to reflect proportionately the impact of such materially incomplete or inaccurate information or such failure or delay. Charges that are indicated in an Order as being fixed are not subject to an annual percentage escalation for the initial term of such Order; otherwise, Xerox may increase Charges for Services annually by an amount no greater than the CPI Adjustment Percentage. If Xerox provides Services partially or early (for example, prior to the start of the initial term of an Order), Xerox will bill Customer on a pro rata basis, based on a 30 day month, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply.
3.3. Use of Subcontractors
Xerox may, when it reasonably deems it appropriate to do so, subcontract any portion of the Services. Xerox shall remain responsible for any Services performed by subcontractors retained by Xerox to the same extent as if such Services were performed by Xerox.
3.4. Services Scope Changes
Except as otherwise set forth in an Order, either party may propose to modify the then-existing Services that are described in an Order, or to add new Services under a Services Contract. If Xerox determines such changes are feasible, Xerox will prepare and propose to Customer an Order incorporating the requested changes and any related impact to the Charges or terms. Once Customer executes and Xerox accepts the Order, Xerox will promptly proceed with the new and/or revised Services in accordance with the terms of the Order and this Agreement.
3.5. Early Termination of Services and Labor
Except as otherwise set forth in a Services Contract, upon 90 days prior written notice, Customer may terminate or reduce any Services or labor provided pursuant to an Order without incurring early termination charges except as set forth in the next sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Services or labor provided under an Order are terminated (a) by Xerox due to Customer’s default or (b) by Customer and Customer acquires similar services from another supplier within 6 months of the termination of such Services or labor, Customer shall pay all amounts due as of the termination date, together with the early termination charges, for loss of bargain and not as a penalty, stated in the DocuSign Envelope ID: 5A4FD37B-8463-4F9B-8C55-3E5FB1A1A519

4.2. Delivery and Removal and Suitability of Customer Facilities Xerox will be responsible for all standard delivery charges for Equipment and Third Party Hardware and, for Equipment or Third Party Hardware for which Xerox holds title, standard removal charges.

Upon expiration or termination of the applicable Order, Customer will either return any unused Consumable Supplies to Xerox at Xerox’s expense when using Xerox-supplied shipping labels, or destroy them in a manner permitted by applicable law. Xerox reserves the right to charge Customer for any Consumable Supplies usage that exceeds Xerox’s published yields by more than 10%. In such a case, Xerox will notify Customer of the excess usage. If such excess usage does not cease within 30 days after notice, Xerox may charge Customer for the excess usage. If Xerox provides paper under a Services Contract, upon 30 days’ notice, Xerox may adjust paper pricing or either party may terminate the provision of paper.
4.5. Use and Relocation
For any Equipment or Third Party Hardware provided by Xerox, with the exception of Purchased Equipment for which Customer has paid in full, Customer agrees that: (a) the Equipment or Third Party Hardware shall remain personal property; (b) Customer will not attach any of the Equipment or Third Party Hardware as a fixture to any real estate; (c) Customer will not pledge, sub-lease or part with possession of the Equipment or Third Party Hardware or file or permit to be filed any lien against the Equipment or Third Party Hardware; and (d) Customer will not make any permanent alterations to the Equipment or Third Party Hardware.

All parts or materials replaced, including as part of an upgrade, will become Xerox’s property.
Equipment or Third Party Hardware cannot be relocated outside of the U.S. until Customer has paid in full for the Equipment or Third Party Hardware and has received title thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, to the extent the Equipment contains any Software, any relocation of such Equipment is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Software License Module of this Agreement.

Certain models of Equipment can be configured to include a variety of data security features. There may be an additional cost associated with certain data security features. The selection, suitability and use of data security features are solely Customer’s responsibility. Upon request, Xerox will provide additional information to Customer regarding the security features available for particular Equipment models. Obligations regarding removal of Customer’s Confidential Information that may be stored on hard drives on Equipment owned by Xerox, if any, and any costs associated with such removal will be set forth in the applicable Order.
4.8. Remote Services for Equipment
Certain models of Equipment are supported and serviced using Remote Data Access. Remote Data Access also enables Xerox to transmit to Customer Maintenance Releases or Updates for software or firmware and to remotely diagnose and modify Equipment to repair or correct malfunctions. Remote Data will be transmitted to and from Customer in a secure manner specified by Xerox. Remote Data Access will not allow Xerox to read, view or download any Customer data, documents or other information residing on or passing through the Equipment, Third Party Hardware or Customer’s information management systems. Customer grants the right to Xerox, without charge, to establish and maintain Remote Data Access for the purposes described above. Upon Xerox’s request, Customer will provide contact information for Equipment such as name and address of Customer contact and IP and physical addresses/locations of Equipment. Customer will enable Remote Data Access via a method prescribed by Xerox and Customer will provide Xerox with reasonable assistance to allow Xerox to have Remote Data Access. Unless Xerox deems Equipment incapable of Remote Data Access, Customer will ensure that Remote Data Access is maintained at all times Maintenance Services are being performed.
4.9. Removal of Hazardous Waste
Customer agrees to take responsibility for legally disposing of all hazardous wastes generated from the use of Third Party Hardware or supplies.

5.4. Maintenance Services for Purchased Equipment

MAINTENANCE SERVICES MODULE
6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIC TO MAINTENANCE SERVICES In addition to the terms and conditions in the GENERAL Module, and except as otherwise set forth in an Order, the following terms and conditions apply to provision of Maintenance Services.
6.1. Maintenance Services
As part of an Order for (a) stand-alone Maintenance Services related to Purchased Equipment, or (b) Maintenance Services related to Equipment to which Xerox does not hold title, or as a mandatory part of an Order for Equipment (other than Purchased Equipment) that includes Maintenance Services, Xerox or a designated service provider will provide the following Maintenance Services for Equipment. If Customer is acquiring Equipment for which Xerox does not offer Maintenance Services, such Equipment will be designated as “No Svc.” This Module does not apply to maintenance of Third Party Hardware. Maintenance that Xerox provides on Third Party Hardware will be provided in accordance with the terms of the applicable Order.
The provision of Maintenance Services is contingent upon Customer facilitating timely and efficient resolution of Equipment issues by: (i) utilizing Customer-implemented remedies provided by Xerox; (ii) replacing Cartridges; and (iii) providing information to and implementing recommendations provided by Xerox telephone support personnel in those instances where Xerox is not providing on-site Equipment support personnel. If an Equipment issue is not resolved after completion of (i) through (iii) above, Xerox will provide on-site support as provided in the applicable Order.
6.2. Repairs and Parts
a. Xerox will make repairs and adjustments necessary to keep the Equipment in good working order and operating in accordance with its written specifications (including such repairs or adjustments required during initial installation). Maintenance Services shall cover repairs and adjustments required as a result of normal wear and tear or defects in materials or workmanship. Parts required for repair may be new, reconditioned, reprocessed or recovered.
b. If Xerox is providing Maintenance Services for Equipment that uses Cartridges, Customer will use only unmodified Cartridges purchased directly from Xerox or its authorized resellers. Failure to use such Cartridges will void any warranty applicable to such Equipment. Cartridges packed with Equipment or furnished by Xerox as Consumable Supplies will meet Xerox’s new Cartridge performance standards and may be new, remanufactured or reprocessed and contain new and/or reprocessed components. To enhance print quality, Cartridges for many models of Equipment have been designed to cease functioning at a predetermined point. Many Equipment models are designed to function only with Cartridges that are newly manufactured original Xerox Cartridges or with Cartridges intended for use in the U.S.
6.3. Hours and Exclusions
Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, Maintenance Services will be provided in areas accessible for repair services during Xerox’s standard working hours. Maintenance Services excludes repairs due to: (a) misuse, neglect or abuse; (b) failure of the installation site or the PC or workstation used with the Equipment to comply with Xerox’s published specifications; (c) use of options, accessories, or other products not serviced by Xerox; (d) non-Xerox alterations, relocation, service or supplies; and (e) failure to perform operator maintenance procedures identified in operator DocuSign Envelope ID: 5A4FD37B-8463-4F9B-8C55-3E5FB1A1A519
Form 52663-S (January 16, 2020) XEROX CONFIDENTIAL 15 of 17 manuals. Customer agrees to furnish all referenced parts, tools, and supplies needed to perform those procedures that are described in the applicable manuals and instructions.
6.4. Installation Site and Meter Readings
In order to receive Maintenance Services for Equipment requiring connection to a PC or workstation, Customer must utilize a PC or workstation that either (a) has been provided by Xerox or (b) meets Xerox’s published specifications.
The Equipment installation site must conform to Xerox’s published requirements. If applicable, unless otherwise set forth in an Order, Customer agrees to provide meter readings in the manner prescribed by Xerox. If Customer does not provide Xerox with meter readings as required, for Equipment not capable of Remote Data Access, or if Remote Data Access is interrupted, Xerox may estimate them and bill Customer accordingly.
6.5. Remedy
As Customer’s exclusive remedy for Xerox’s failure to provide Maintenance Services, Xerox will, for 5 years after the installation date of the initial unit or the initial term of the Order, whichever is longer, replace the Equipment with an identical product or, at Xerox’s option, another model with comparable features and capabilities. If replacement Equipment is provided pursuant to this Section, there shall be no additional charge for its provision by Xerox during the initial term of the Order and it shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Order(s).
Customer’s use of non-Xerox approved consumables that affect the performance of the Equipment may invalidate this remedy. If Xerox is unable to keep a unit of Equipment in good working order after the period noted above, either party may terminate Maintenance Services for that unit without any penalties or early termination charges upon not less than 30 days’ written notice to the other party.
6.6. End of Service
Xerox has no obligation to maintain or replace Equipment beyond the “End of Service” for that particular model of Equipment. End of Service (“EOS”) means the date announced by Xerox after which Xerox will no longer offer Maintenance Services for a particular Equipment model. An EOS Equipment List is available upon request.

7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIC TO SOFTWARE
In addition to the terms and conditions in the GENERAL Module the following terms and conditions apply to the license and use of Software and its associated Documentation.
7.1. Software License

Xerox grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable (by operation of law or otherwise) license to use in the U.S.: (i) Base Software only on or with the Equipment with which (or within which) it was delivered; and (ii) Application Software only on any single unit of Equipment, subject to Customer remaining current in the payment of any indicated applicable Software license fees (including any annual renewal fees).
For Services Software, Xerox grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable (by operation of law or otherwise) license in the U.S. to install the Services Software on a host computer(s) or server(s) or, if applicable, on Equipment or Third Party Hardware, and, further, if applicable, on the number of workstations, laptops and mobile devices specified in the Order, and to use the Services Software only for the purpose of receiving the applicable Services. Customer has no other rights to the Software. Customer will not and will not allow its employees, agents, contractors or vendors to: (i) distribute, copy, modify, create derivatives of, decompile, or reverse engineer Software except as permitted by applicable law; (ii) activate Software delivered with or within the Equipment in an un-activated state; or, (iii) access or disclose Diagnostic Software for any purpose. Title to Software and all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in Software will reside solely with Xerox and its licensors (who, if required by the terms of the third party license agreement with Xerox, will be considered third party beneficiaries of this Agreement’s software and limitation of liability provisions).
b. The Base Software license will terminate, as applicable: (i) if Customer no longer uses or possesses the Equipment with which the Base Software was provided; or (ii) upon the expiration or termination of any Order under which Customer has acquired the Equipment with which the Base Software was provided (unless Customer has exercised an option to purchase the Equipment, where available, in which case the license to Base Software is perpetual and transferrable with purchase of the Equipment by Customer). c. Software may contain code to prevent its unlicensed use and/or transfer. If Customer does not permit Xerox periodic access to such Software, this code may impair the Equipment’s and/or Software’s functionality.

Form 52663-S (January 16, 2020) XEROX CONFIDENTIAL 16 of 17 d. Xerox does not warrant that the Software will be free from errors or that its operation will be uninterrupted.
7.2. Software Support

For Base Software, Software support will be provided during the initial term of the applicable Order and any renewal period, but not longer than 5 years after Xerox stops taking orders for the subject model of Equipment. For Application Software, Software support will be provided as long as Customer is current in the payment of all applicable software license, annual renewal and “support only” fees. For Services Software, support will be provided in accordance with the terms of the applicable Statement of Work or Order.
a. Xerox will maintain a web-based or toll-free hotline during Xerox’s standard working hours to report Software problems and answer Software-related questions. Xerox, either directly or with its vendors, will make reasonable efforts to: (i) assure that Software performs in material conformity with its Documentation; (ii) provide available workarounds or patches to resolve Software performance problems; and (iii) resolve coding errors for (1) the current release and (2) the previous release for a period of 6 months after the current release is made available to Customer. Xerox will not be required to provide Software support if Customer has modified the Software.
b. Xerox may make available new releases of the Software that are designated as “Maintenance Releases” or “Updates.” Maintenance Releases or Updates are provided at no charge and must be implemented within 6 months after being made available to Customer. Each Maintenance Release or Update shall be considered Software governed by these terms. Feature Releases will be subject to additional license fees at Xerox’s then-current pricing and shall be considered Software governed by these terms and conditions (unless otherwise noted in an Order). Implementation of a Maintenance Release, Update or Feature Release may require Customer to procure, at its expense, additional hardware and/or software from Xerox or another entity.
Upon installation of a Maintenance Release, Update or Feature Release, Customer will return or destroy all prior Maintenance Releases, Updates or Feature Releases. c. Xerox may increase Software license fees and support fees for Application Software annually by an amount no greater than the CPI Adjustment Percentage.
7.3. Diagnostic Software
Diagnostic Software and method of entry or access to it constitute valuable trade secrets of Xerox. Title to the Diagnostic Software shall at all times remain solely with Xerox and Xerox’s licensors. Xerox does not grant Customer a license or right to use the Diagnostic Software. Customer will not use, reproduce, distribute, or disclose the Diagnostic Software for any purpose (or allow third parties to do so). Customer will allow Xerox reasonable access to the Equipment during Customer’s normal business hours to remove or disable Diagnostic Software if Customer is no longer receiving Maintenance Services from Xerox.
7.4. Third Party Software
Third Party Software is subject to license and support terms provided by the applicable Third Party Software vendor.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the dates set forth below intending it to become effective on the Effective Date and thereby agreeing to its terms.

Upon expiration of this Agreement, Customer will include any unused Consumable Supplies with the Equipment for return to Xerox at the time of removal. If your use of Consumable Supplies exceeds Xerox's published yield by more than 10%, Xerox will notify you of such excess usage. If such excess usage does not cease within 30 days after such notice, Xerox may charge you for such excess usage. Upon request, you will provide current meter reads and/or an inventory of Consumable Supplies in your possession.
3. MAINTENANCE SERVICES. This Section applies only if Customer has contracted with Xerox for the provision of Maintenance Services. Except for Equipment identified as "No Svc.", Xerox (or a designated servicer) will keep the Equipment in good working order ("Maintenance Services"). The provision of Maintenance Services is contingent upon Customer facilitating timely and efficient resolution of Equipment issues by: (a) utilizing Customer-implemented remedies provided by Xerox; (b) replacing Cartridges; and (c) providing information to and implementing recommendations provided by Xerox telephone support personnel.

Pricing for each renewal term will be Xerox's then-current published pricing.

This multiple award is recommended as most advantageous as it limits contract awards to the least number of suppliers necessary to meet the requirements of OMNIA Partners, Public Sector members. In order to serve the entire nation, a multiple award is recommended to provide any governmental agency with complete coverage of commodities, services and any other offering within the scope of proposal.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Approve the Purchase of a Police Vehicle, Find the Procurement to be in the Best Interest of the City, and Authorize the City Manager to Execute Any Documents Necessary to Effectuate the Purchase at the Negotiated Amount (Staff Contact: Jared Hernandez, Chief of Police, 408-586-2406) Category: Consent Calendar-Public Safety
Meeting Date: 6/4/2024
Recommendation: Approve the purchase of a police vehicle, find the procurement to be in the best interest of the City consistent with Milpitas Muncipal Code section I-2-3.03, and authorize the City Manager to execute any documents necessary to effectuate the purchase at the negotiated amount.
BACKGROUND:
The Milpitas Police Department currently manages a fleet of police vehicles assigned to Field Services and Special Operations staff throughout the department’s 24-7 operation. The City of Milpitas has a contractual obligation under the Milpitas Police Officer Association (MPOA) Memorandum of Understanding to provide vehicles for police operations. It is imperative the police department maintain its fleet of vehicles to effectively provide public safety services to the community.
As part of the FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget approved by Council on June 6, 2023, one (1) unmarked Police Department vehicle was approved to be replaced through the Capital Outlay process. This vehicle is one of nine (9) vehicles currently utilized by the eleven (11) staff members assigned to the Special Operations Division. Without replacement of this vehicle, there would be insufficient vehicles available for Detectives to effectively perform their duties.
Municipal Code Section I-2-3.03 titled “Procurements where competitive methods are not practicable” provides that the City is not required to engage in competitive procurement as authorized by the City Council to be “in the best interest of the City”. There is an immediate need to replace this unmarked Police Department vehicle, and the vehicle cannot be obtained through the competitive procurement process as a result of the scarcity of vehicles available on the market.
ANALYSIS:
Typically, the City purchases vehicles using a cooperative agreement such as the National Auto Fleet Group (NAFG), one of the largest cooperative vehicle suppliers in the country, especially for sedans. The use of cooperative agreements, which are a result of competitive solicitations, is typically more effective and efficient than for the City to undergo a competitive procurement process. However, purchases through these agreements are severely affected by the current supply shortage of vehicles in the automobile market, resulting in an extended delivery period. There are currently no vehicles available for government wholesale purchase through NAFG. While NAFG has limited inventory for patrol vehicles, NAFG has no inventory for unmarked vehicles suitable for police fleet. Furthermore, NAFG also has very limited vehicle availability for retail purchase. The majority of retail vehicles are sold before delivered to the dealership due to a backlog of orders. Retail vehicles are not available to the City through the existing cooperative agreement with NAFG.
Staff contacted several local dealerships. Local dealerships also have very limited inventory and are not interested in responding to competitive solicitations. Therefore, as all viable options have been exhausted, staff requests Council authority to purchase a police vehicle directly from a dealership with available inventory consistent with Municipal Code section 1-2-3.03(d). With this authority, staff will be able to replace the vehicle as soon as possible to meet contractual obligations to replace police vehicles, in support of effective police operations.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Do not authorize the purchase of a police vehicle without a competitive process.
Pros: The City may not incur the open retail market cost of a police vehicle.
Cons: The substantial delay would mean the Police Department would not have enough vehicles for effective operations.
Reason for Not Recommending: The replacement of this vehicle has already been approved by Council through the FY 2023-24 budget adoption and capital outlay process. Due to supply chain and the priority of public safety, the Police Department needs to replace this vehicle as soon as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The purchase would be at the negotiated amount. The FY2023-24 adopted budget appropriated a total of $52,536, with an equipment replacement fund allocation ($40,604) and general fund allocation ($11,932) for the purchase of one (1) unmarked Police vehicle.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
The action being requested is not a project as defined by CEQA (CEQA Guidelines exemption 15378(b)(2)).
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the purchase of a police vehicle, find the procurement to be in the best interest of the City consistent with Milpitas Municipal Code section I-2-3.03, and authorize the City Manager to execute any documents necessary to effectuate the purchase at the negotiated amount.

Item Title: Award IFB 24-091 and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Purchase Order with Core and Main, LP for Valve Parts in the Amount of $129,320.60 for Sunnyhills Turnout Rehabilitation Project, Project No. 7149 (Staff: Christian Di Renzo, Public Works Director, 408-586-2602; and Michael Silveira, City Engineer, 408-586-3303)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Services and Sustainable Infrastructure Meeting Date: 6/4/2024
Recommendation: Award IFB 24-091 and authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase order with Core and Main, LP for the purchase of valve parts in the amount of $129,320.60 for Sunnyhills Turnout Rehabilitation Project, Project No. 7149.
Background:
The Sunnyhills Turnout Rehabilitation Project, Project No. 7149 (“Project”), is included in the adopted FY2025- 2029 Capital Improvement Program. The Project provides for the design and replacement of the turnout’s equipment, piping and vault lid that is near the end of its service life.
The City receives potable water from San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and Santa Clara Valley Water wholesalers supplied through five turnouts which are an integral part of the City’s water distribution system. Sunnyhills turnout, located at 405 Washington Drive, is critical to the SFPUC service as it supplies water to SF1 and SF2 pressure zones with a capacity of 10.1 million gallons per day. The water is supplied from the SFPUC 96-Inch Bay Division Pipeline number 4 through an adjacent vault owned by SFPUC which was upgraded in 2010.
The Sunnyhills turnout was constructed in 1971 and consists of a combination of welded steel, ductile iron, and cast-iron piping and isolation gate, pressure reducing and pressure relief and sustaining valves in a partially buried concrete vault. An assessment completed by MNS Engineering in 2021 concluded the equipment, piping, and vault lids are in poor condition and require replacement.
The City contracted with MNS Engineering to complete the design drawings and specifications for the turnout rehabilitation by the end of 2024. The pressure reducing valves for the Project are anticipated to require up to 26 weeks for fabrication and delivery following purchase order submittal. Due to the extended lead time, prepurchasing the pressure reducing valves ahead of bidding the Project will expedite the schedule of construction.
Analysis:
On April 4, 2024, the Purchasing Division released an Invitation for Bid (IFB) 24-091 for the purchase of two pressure reducing valves for the Project. The IFB was publicly noticed in accordance with the City’s municipal code and advertised on the City’s website. Email notifications were sent to companies registered with the City via ProcureNow.com, the City’s eProcurement system, and a bid notification placed on PublicPurchase.com.
Upon release 17 vendors downloaded the IFB documents and the Purchasing Division received two proposals by the deadline of May 2, 2024. The Summary of Bid Results is as follows:
Bidder Base Bid
Core & Main, LP $117,564.16
Underground Republic Water Works, Inc $119,761.38
Core and Main, LP was the lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive bid of $117,564.16. Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase order with Core and Main for the purchase of valve parts in the amount of $129,320.60 (includes a 10% purchase contingency). There is sufficient funding available in the Project budget to award this purchase order and no additional funding appropriation is required.
Policy Alternatives:
Alternative 1: Do not award IFB No. 24-091 to Core and Main for the purchase of valve parts.
Pros: None.
Cons: If the purchase of valve parts is not awarded to Core and Main, the replacement of these assets will be delayed.
Reason not recommended: The timeline for the replacement of the pressure reducing valves would be delayed at the Sunnyhills turnout. The current lead time for procuring the two pressure reducing valves is approximately 26 weeks.
Fiscal Impact:
Adequate funds are available in the Project budget and no additional funding appropriation is required. As part of the adopted FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program, City Council approved the Sunnyhills Turnout Rehabilitation Project, Project No. 7149, with a budget appropriation of $1,165,000 from the Water Capital Surcharge Fund available on July 1, 2024, at the start of the new fiscal year.
California Environmental Quality Act:
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378, 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:
Award IFB 24-091 and authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase order with Core and Main, LP for the purchase of valve parts in the amount of $129,320.60 for the Sunnyhills Turnout Rehabilitation Project, Project No. 7149.

Item Title: Adopt a Resolution to Approve Project Plans & Specifications; Award the Construction Contract to Preston Pipelines Infrastructure, LLC; and Authorize Design Services Agreement Amendment No. 1 with MNS Engineers, Inc. for Fire Station No. 1 Pressure Reducing Stations Relocation, Project No. 7133 (Staff Contact: Christian Di Renzo, Public Works Director, 408.586.2602, and Michael Silveira, City Engineer, 408.586.3303)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Services and Sustainable Infrastructure Meeting Date: 6/4/2024
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution to approve project plans & specifications; award the construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Preston Pipelines Infrastructure, LLC, in a total amount of $999,240; authorize the City Manager to execute the construction contract with Preston Pipelines Infrastructure, LLC.; authorize the Public Works Director to negotiate and execute contract change order(s) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000; and approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Design Services Agreement with MNS Engineers in the amount of $156,524 for Fire Station 1 Pressure Reducing Station Reconstruction, Project No. 7133.
BACKGROUND:
The Fire Station No. 1 Pressure Reducing Stations Reconstruction, Project No. 7133 (“Project”), is included in the adopted FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. The Project provides for the design and reconstruction of the existing underground 12-inch and 16-inch pressure reducing stations (PRS) to above ground facilities along Curtis Ave. on the property of the Fire Station No. 1. These PRS are a critical component of the City water distribution system in maintaining regular pressure throughout the City. Each underground PRS reduces pressure from City Water Zone SC2 (operating at 140 PSI) and discharges to Zone SC1 (operating at 77 PSI).
In January 2023, a surge event occurred within the system that damaged the existing 16-inch pressure reducing valve. The damaged valve was beyond repair due to the age and location; however, the damaged valve is isolated and the remaining valves in the zone are holding consistent pressure for the time being. On March 29, 2023, the City entered into a Design Service Agreement with MNS Engineers, Inc. in an amount notto-exceed $99,128.00 to assess the existing system and provide design services for the reconstruction of the PRSs.
The underground locations of the PRS affects the long-term condition of the valve components and poses safety issues for staff to maintain the valves in an underground confined space. Based on these factors, reconstructing the PRS above ground would provide sufficient space for staff to access and maintain facilities and easily connect to the City SCADA system for control and monitoring. Due to the 6-to-8-month lead time for the delivery of valves, City Council approved the purchase of these valves with Core and Main on May 2, 2023, ahead of bidding the Project to expedite the schedule of construction.
The Engineer’s Construction Estimate for the Project is $1,999,935. The Project Plan title sheet (Attachment b) is included in the Council agenda packet, and the complete full-size set of plans and specifications are available electronically upon request to the City Engineer.
ANALYSIS:
The Project was advertised on digital construction trade publications on March 29, 2024, and in the Milpitas Post on March 29 and April 5, 2024, in accordance with the bidding requirements of the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act. Bid opening was held on May 1, 2024 and four sealed bids were received which ranged in bid prices from $999,240 to $2,292,070. The Summary of Bid Results is as follows and is included in the agenda (Attachment c).

Engineer's Estimate $1,999,935.00
Preston Pipelines Infrastructure, LLC Milpitas, CA $999,240.00 Devaney Engineering, Inc San Francisco, CA $1,537,986.90 Casey Construction, Inc Emerald Hills, CA $1,733,000.00 Pacific Underground Construction, Inc San Jose, CA $2,292,070.00 The bid pricing submitted varies between 50% under to 15% over the Engineer’s Estimate. The range of variation in bid pricing from the Engineer’s Estimate is likely due to the current construction market. The lowest responsible submitting a responsive bid is Preston Pipelines Infrastructure, LLC in the amount of $999,240. No bid protests were filed with the City in regards to this Project.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment a) to approve plans and specifications for the Project and award a construction contract to Preston Pipelines Infrastructure, LLC., for a total contract amount not to exceed $999,240.00. There is sufficient funding available in the Project budget to award this contract and no additional funding appropriation is required.
The recommended construction contingency for this Project is $150,000 which is 15% of the total contract value to address any unforeseen conditions that may arise during construction. Consistent with prior Council action for the successful completion of projects with tight completion schedules, staff is requesting the use of the same change order policy used for previous projects (Attachment d). This policy allows for a timely completion of the Project, while addressing the need to respond swiftly to construction conditions and approve necessary change orders to limit potential claims or risks to the City. The change order authority will not be exceeded without prior City Council approval.
Staff also recommends the approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Design Services Agreement with MNS Engineers, Inc. (Attachment e) to provide construction support services. The services include construction management and inspection; reviewing and responding to change order requests, request for information, and material submittals from the contractor; address minor design changes due to unforeseen conditions; and project closeout. Staff has negotiated a scope and fee for Amendment No. 1 for a fee not to exceed $156,524 which will increase compensation of the agreement from $99,128 to $255,652. No additional funding appropriation is required for Amendment No. 1.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Deny approval of project plans and specifications and award of the construction award.
Pros: None.
Cons: A denial would cause delay in completing the needed repairs to the damaged 16” PRV which is currently out of service.
Reason not Recommended: Delay in award of construction contract will delay project completion, prolong construction activities through the rainy season, and potentially result in higher total construction costs.
Additionally, the current 12” PRS may fail in the event of another surge event as there is no backup PRS in service.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adequate funds are available in the Project budget and no additional funding appropriation is required. Funding source comes from Water Capital Surcharge and Water Line Extension Fund. As of 05/22/2024, the balance in CIP 7133 is $2,371,824.
As of 05/22/2024 the uncommitted balance for this Projects is as follows:
CIP 7133 $2,371,824
Summary of Estimated Construction Cost:
Construction Contract Award $999,240
15% Construction Contingency $150,000
Administration and Inspection $50,000
MNS Engineer Amendment No. 1 $156,524
Total $1,355,764
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
The Project entails replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced, will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15302.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution to approve project plans & specifications; award the construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Preston Pipelines Infrastructure, LLC, in a total amount of $999,240; authorize the City Manager to execute the construction contract with Preston Pipelines Infrastructure, LLC.; authorize the Public Works Director to negotiate and execute contract change order(s) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000; and approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Design Services Agreement with MNS Engineers in the amount of $156,524 for Fire Station 1 Pressure Reducing Station Reconstruction, Project No. 7133.

SUBJECT: Proposal for Construction Management and Inspection Services – Station No.1 Pressure Reducing Stations Replacement Project Dear Ms. Marshal,
MNS Engineers, Inc. (MNS) appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide construction management and inspection services for the Fire Station No.1 Pressure Reducing Stations Replacement Project (Project). We offer our highly qualified team to provide services for this Project.
Background and Project Understanding
The City of Milpitas (City) Public Works Department (Public Works) operates and maintains the City’s infrastructure and facilities, including street maintenance, utility engineering, utility operations and maintenance, and environmental compliance and sustainability, as well as other services.
A surge event occurred within the City’s water distribution system that damaged infrastructure including an existing 16-inch pressure reducing valve at the City’s Curtis Pressure Reducing Station (PRS) located at the City’s Fire Station No.1 at 777 South Main Street, Milpitas CA. Due to the critical nature of the valve, the City desires to expedite replacement.
At the Project site, there is an 18-inch water line within Curtis Avenue. Two PRSs are located on the Fire Station No.1 property. Each underground PRS reduces pressure from City Water Zone SC2 (which operates at 130 to 140 PSI) and discharges to Zone SC1 (which operates at 77 PSI). The two PRSs are designed in a lead-lag configuration and include separate West and East connections.
The West PRS was constructed in 1998 and includes an underground vault with access hatch, 12-inch water line and pressure reducing valve, lighting, submersible pump to remove nuisance water, and ship ladder to access the vault. Pressure gages and transmitters are installed on the upstream and downstream piping to the valve. The vault is approximately 9 ft wide x 9 ft long x 7 ft deep and is located west of the fire station driveway in a landscaped area.
The East PRS was constructed in 1970 and includes an underground vault with manhole cover access, a 16-inch water line, and pressure reducing valve with

lighting. Pressure gages and transmitters are installed on the upstream and downstream piping to the valve and an air relief valve is installed on the 16-inch PRV discharge piping. The vault is approximately 4 ft wide x 9 ft long x 4 ft deep and is in the fire station’s concrete driveway. The East PRS was the facility recently damaged and is currently out of service.
The City recently contracted with MNS Engineers, Inc. to provide Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) documents for issuance for competitive bid and construction. The Project includes installation of roughly 140 feet of 16-inch DIP, one 12-inch PRS in approximately the same location as the existing West PRS, one 16- inch PRS, and demolition of the existing 16-inch PRS. MNS is currently finalizing the PS&E documents, anticipating to be out to bid by March 2024, with construction estimated to start in August 2024.
The City has also proceeded with procurement of the 12-and 16-inch Pressure Reducing Valves to expedite the construction schedule. The contractor will be responsible to pick up the valves from the City. MNS will carefully document condition and handover of the valves.
MNS’s extensive experience with both waterline replacement and paving makes us well qualified to provide construction management and inspection of the proposed improvements.
Scope of Work
MNS staff will support the City by providing construction management and daily full-time inspection in accordance with the contract documents for the PRS replacement project per the following tasks.
Task 1 – Construction Management
Subtask 1.1: Pre-Construction Conference
MNS will organize and conduct a pre-construction meeting. The Construction Manager (CM) will prepare and distribute an agenda prior to the meeting. At the pre-construction conference, we will discuss the roles and responsibilities of the Project team (City, Design Engineer, Construction Manager, Contractor, etc.) as well as establish the protocol to be used throughout the project. The meeting will set the tone of cooperation for the project and elaborate on contract requirements and concerns. MNS will distribute meeting minutes to all parties in attendance.
One important point of conversation will be regarding maintained access for the Fire Department throughout construction. 24/7 access to the Fire House is critical.
Subtask 1.2: Contract Administration/Document Control
MNS will develop an administration system to assure all elements of the actual construction are furnished, installed, and constructed in accordance with the contract documents and applicable standards, providing organization of files and computer-generated forms and spreadsheets to assist in tracking correspondence, submittals, requests for information (RFIs), contract change orders (CCOs), and progress payments.
Contract administration includes:
Daily diaries
Labor compliance review
Logs for submittals, RFIs, CCOs, and materials testing results Correspondence, permits, and agreements

Weekly meetings agenda and minutes
Subtask 1.3: Site Documentation
MNS will take pre-construction site photos to document the existing condition of the Project limits prior to construction. MNS will document construction throughout the life of the Project. Photos will be filed in the Project files.
Subtask 1.4: Project Communication and Coordination
The CM will oversee project communication and coordination between the City, Design Engineer, Fire Department, and contractor throughout the construction phase. Weekly updates will be provided to the City, specifically identifying anticipated public impacts for the upcoming week. Progress meetings will be held weekly. The CM will distribute an agenda prior to the meeting and record meeting minutes.
Subtask 1.5: Project Schedule Adherence
The CM will review and approve the contractor’s baseline schedule at the start of the Project. The CM will require and review three-week-look-ahead schedules from the contractor on a weekly basis. The contractor will be issued weekly summary of working days (WSWDs) to document the progress of the work and the number of working days expended.
Subtask 1.6: Cost Control
The Project’s document control system will track and monitor the actual Project construction costs. The tracking of contract item payments and quantities is incorporated into the progress payment spreadsheet.
Contract change order (CCO) payments, extra work, and item overruns and underruns will also be tracked.
The project contingency balance will be verified as part of the monthly progress pay estimate review and submittal.
Subtask 1.7: Progress Pay Estimate
MNS will track each contract item and review the quantity to be paid for each progress pay estimate. The Construction Inspector will track any extra work and supplemental work costs to be compared against the authorized change order amounts. We will review the contractor’s monthly request for payment and recommend approval for payment to the City.
Subtask 1.8: Submittals/RFIs
MNS will perform a timely review of submittals and RFIs; all submittals and RFIs will be reviewed for completeness, logged, and distributed as appropriate. MNS will monitor the log to verify responses are submitted in a timely manner.
CITY OF MILPITAS
FIRE STATION NO.1 PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES REPLACEMENT PROJECT P A G E 4
Subtask 1.9: CCO and Claims Management
Prior to beginning any contract work, we will coordinate with the City to define the CCO process. All CCOs must define the project scope of work and limits and comply with the project documents. MNS will be proactive in identifying actual and potential problems and work towards a timely and cost-effective solution.
The CM will:
Determine the validity and justification for all CCOs Notify the City if CCOs are needed
Negotiate costs with the contractor
Prepare CCO documentation for City authorization
Track all CCOs against project contingency balance
The CM will work closely with the City, Design Engineer, and the contractor to resolve CCOs and/or disputes.
Subtask 1.10: Commissioning
MNS will coordinate commissioning of the pipeline and PRSs, including pressure testing, disinfection, sampling, and tie-ins. MNS will emphasize tie-in plans to limit service interruption to City customers.
Subtask 1.11: Final Punchlist
The CM will prepare and submit a final punch list of outstanding contract items to the contractor. MNS will conduct a final inspection in the presence of the City representatives and the contractor.
Subtask 1.12: Red Line As-Builts
MNS will track and maintain as-built drawings in accordance with the contract requirements and ensure they are complete to the extent feasible. The CM will hold regular meetings with the contractor to monitor the status of the as-built drawing set, which is often made a contingency for approval of the monthly pay request.
Subtask 1.13: Closeout
Once the contractor provides the required documentation, MNS will submit an acceptance recommendation report with the final pay request for payment. MNS will submit job files and final reports to the City upon completion of the contract.
Task 2 – Construction Inspection
Subtask 2.1: Construction Inspection
The Construction Inspector will be onsite daily to observe the work with the goal of verifying it is performed safely and in accordance with the contract documents. The Construction Inspector’s responsibilities will also include:
Daily Inspection. Inspect the construction for compliance with the plans and specifications. Quality Assurance. Assure the contractor’s overall Quality Control (QC) is implemented in a manner consistent with the Projects’ Special Provisions.
Traffic Control/No Parking Zones. Inspect the contractor’s daily traffic control per approved standards. Notify the contractor of any perceived unsafe conditions.
CITY OF MILPITAS
FIRE STATION NO.1 PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES REPLACEMENT PROJECT P A G E 5
Daily Reports. Prepare daily inspection reports, daily quantities, note any safety issues, and include an accurate description of the work, labor, and equipment. Note any extra work or changes to the plans. Maintain photographic record of construction.
Materials. Verify approved materials are incorporated into the project. Acceptance/Performance Testing. Coordinate acceptance and performance testing in conformance with the contract documents.
Punch List. Prepare punch list and inspect for completion of punch list work items.
Subtask 2.2: Safety
The contractor has sole responsibility for compliance with safety requirements on the construction contract, but MNS will monitor compliance with their safety program and advise the City of observed deficiencies. The contractor’s Safety Plan, Traffic Control Plan, and Cal/OSHA Construction Safety Orders will guide our inspectors in monitoring the contractor’s work.
Subtask 2.3: Permit Management
MNS will monitor the construction to assure all items of work are performed in accordance with encroachment permits, and stormwater pollution control requirements.
Subtask 2.4: Final Punchlist

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Approve the Improvement Agreement with Chevron U.S.A., Inc. for the Completion of Offsite Public Improvements Located at 1490 South Park Victoria Drive. (Staff Contact: Christian Di Renzo, Public Works Director, 408-586-2602; and Michael Silveira, City Engineer, 408-586-3303)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 6/4/2024
Recommendation: Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Improvement Agreement between the City and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. for the completion of the offsite public improvements located at 1490 South Park Victoria Drive.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Milpitas Planning Commission conditionally approved a Developer’s application at 1490 South Park Victoria Drive (APN 086-36-010) (“Project”) for a Conditional Use Permit (P-UP18-0013), Conditional Use Permit Amendment (P-UA18-0015), and Minor Site Development Permit (P-MS18-0205) to remodel the existing gas station convenience store building, trash enclosure, and associated site improvements on June 12, 2019, and conditionally approved a Time Extension (P-TE21-0003) for the aforementioned permits on August 11, 2021. The Project will be required to construct various offsite public improvements including, but not limited to curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveways, irrigation water service, and other miscellaneous items of work identified as shown on the public improvement plans for the benefit of the Project and public.
ANALYSIS:
The Developer, Chevron U.S.A. Inc., has agreed to enter into an Improvement Agreement (Attachment 1) with the City for construction of the Project’s offsite public improvements which will be accepted by the City upon completion. The offsite public improvements will be completed within one (1) year from the date of the Agreement, and the work is guaranteed by bonds or similar security to be posted by the Developer in the amount of $35,375. The City Engineer has reviewed the public improvement plans (2-1446) and recommends the City Council approve the Improvement Agreement to allow the construction of the offsite public improvements to proceed.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Deny approval Improvement Agreement for the installation of offsite public improvements.
Pros: None
Cons: The denial of approval of the Improvement Agreement will cause construction of the offsite public improvements to be delayed, and will prevent the owner and new tenants from occupying the newly remodeled building.
Reason for Not Recommending: The offsite public improvements are to benefit the Project and public. Staff recommends the City Council approve the Improvement Agreement to guarantee the offsite public improvements are constructed as shown on the public improvement plans within one-year of the executed agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Developer has reimbursed the City for the costs associated with plan review, permitting and construction inspection of the offsite public improvements. The City will have perpetual ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the improvements following the completion of the construction and acceptance of the Project. The Public Works Department provides funding for future maintenance of newly accepted City infrastructure through their operating budget.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
CEQA review was performed by the Planning Division, and the Milpitas Planning Commission determined on June 12, 2019, that the Project is exempt from environmental review under CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(c) (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), and, as a separate and independent basis, determined that the proposed Project is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan or Zoning).
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Improvement Agreement between the City and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. for the completion of the Offsite Public Improvements located at 1490 South Park Victoria Drive.

Category: Public Hearings-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 6/4/2024
Recommendation: (1) Conduct a public hearing; and
(2) Adopt the following Resolutions:
(a) Joint Resolution of the City Council and Milpitas Housing Authority to approve the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Proposed Operating Budget for the City of Milpitas and the Milpitas Housing Authority, approve the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Gann Appropriations Limit, Fiscal Policies and Budget Guidelines and authorizing various financial actions by the City Manager, including Approving and Authorizing the Execution of Various Contracts and Payments over $100,000; (b) Amending Resolution No. 1626, the Classification Plan, to authorize additional positions and amend budgeted allocated positions;
(c) Amending Resolution No. 1626, the Classification Plan, to adjust the hourly rate ranges for classifications due to a minimum wage increase pursuant to Ordinance No. 292;
(d) Amending Resolution No. 1626, the Classification Plan of Unrepresented Management Employees and Authorizing Fringe Benefits; and (e) Amending Resolution No. 1626, the Classification Plan, to adjust the Salary Schedules for various classifications to align with current memorandums of understandings (MOUs)
Background:
The FY 2024-25 Proposed Operating Budget (Proposed Budget) is the product of months of collaboration, discussion and deliberation, resulting in a Proposed Budget developed with the leadership and engagement of the City of Milpitas Council (City Council), City management, staff and the Milpitas community at large. On May 10, 2024, the City Manager released the FY 2024-25 Proposed Operating Budget. On May 14, 2024, the City Council held a Special Meeting (Study Session) where the Proposed Operating Budget, including the General Fund 10-Year Forecast and FY 2024-25 Budget Proposals, was formally presented to City Council and the public, and subsequently reviewed and discussed. The requisite public hearing notices related to the adoption of the Proposed Budget as well as the FY 2024-25 Gann Appropriations Limit were published timely.
Analysis:
The Agenda Report transmits the Proposed Budget as released and documents changes to the Proposed Budget as reviewed and discussed at the May 14, 2024 Study Session. The Agenda Report also includes the various required resolutions related to the adoption of the Proposed Budget.
May 14, 2024 Study Session
Staff formally presented the $248.4 million Proposed Budget, including a proposed increase of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees from 452.0 FTEs in FY 2023-24 to 455.0 FTEs to the City Council at the May 14, 2024 Study Session for review and discussion. The Proposed Budget as presented did not include the action taken by City Council at its May 7, 2024 meeting approving the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Milpitas and Milpitas Police Officers Association (MPOA) due to timing of the City Council action approving the MOU. The term of the MOU is retroactive to January 1, 2024, and will remain in effect through December 31, 2026. The major terms of the MOU are:
1) Three-year contract with the following wage adjustments:
a) 6.5% base salary increase for Sworn and Non-Sworn employees retroactive to the first full pay period in January 2024.
b) 5.0% base salary increase for Sworn employees and a 3.0% base salary increase for Non-Sworn employees effective the first full pay period in January 2025. c) 4.0% base salary increase for Sworn employees and a 3.0% base salary increase for Non-Sworn employees effective the first full pay period in January 2026. 2) New incentive pay for eligible sworn employees for Crisis Intervention Training (CIT):
a) Effective the first full pay period in January 2024, all sworn employees who meet the following criteria shall receive 2.5% of the employee’s base pay:
i) California POST Crisis Intervention Training (Basic) Certification; or ii) California POST Hostage (Crisis) Negotiation Training (Basic) Certification; or b) Minimum 24 hours of relevant training as determined by the Police Department’s Training Unit, including courses in crisis intervention, de-escalation, strategic communication, and other topics relative to promoting positive, non-biased, non-use of force interactions with the community.
This MOU increases General Fund salary and benefits by $2.2 million in FY 2024-2025. To balance the Proposed Budget, staff implemented the following strategies:
MPOA General Fund Salary and Benefits Effect $ 2.2M
Increase Budgetary Vacancy Savings factor from 3% to 4% (Reduce Expenditures) (.9M) Access Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) Rate Stabilization Reserve (1.3M) In summary, the $2.2 million of additional MPOA salary and benefits is offset by $0.9M in budgetary vacancy savings, leaving a balance of $1.3 million, which is funded by a transfer from the City of Milpitas Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) rate stabilization reserve. The PERS rate stabilization reserve was established to pay down unfunded pension liabilities and/or to reduce the length of pension cost amortization schedules with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System. This reserve is funded by General Fund annual operating surplus after General Fund Contingency Reserve and Budget Stabilization Reserve requirements have been met. As of June 30, 2023, the audited PERS rate stabilization reserve balance was $6.1 million.
FY 2024-25 Citywide Budget Summary (All Funds)
Incorporating the above change, the Proposed Budget across all funds is $249.8 million, with staffing of 455.0 funded permanent FTEs. The variance between the May 14, 2024 presentation and the budget being presented for adoption by the City Council is demonstrated below:

excess of $100,000 for insurance and utilities. Funding for these contracts has been incorporated into the proposed budget and/or the FY 2025-29 Capital Improvement Program. As part of the adoption of this budget, staff is seeking authority to award these contracts and make certain payments. The list includes annual routine contracts (e.g.: PLAN JPA insurance premiums), contracts with specific funding items related to this budget (e.g.: Valley Water wholesale water purchase), and contracts related to capital improvement projects.
The Gann Appropriations Limit
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, more commonly referred to as the Gann Initiative or Gann Appropriations Limit, was approved by California voters in November 1979 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of taxes that state and local governmental agencies can receive and spend each year. If an agency receives more revenue than the Appropriations Limit, the excess revenue must be returned to the taxpayers through a tax reduction or refund within the next two years. Alternatively, the agency can increase its Appropriations Limit through voters’ approval.
Based on the attached analysis, using the population and per capita personal income change factors provided by the State of California, the City’s Appropriations Limit for FY 2024-25 has been computed to be $140,254,073. Appropriations subject to the limitation in FY 2024-25 budget total $102,105,622 which is $38,148,451 less than the computed limit. The City has not exceeded its annual Appropriations Limit in any fiscal year since this requirement was approved by the voters in 1979.
Personnel Related Resolutions
Based on the Proposed Budget as amended in this Agenda Report based on Council direction, staff is bringing forward several personnel-related resolutions to amend the classification plan for all employees as it relates to authorized positions, changes to hourly rate ranges for certain classifications due to an increase in the City’s minimum wage, and salary schedule amendments based on previous Council direction consistent with MOUs for the respective bargaining groups.
Authorized positions – This resolution aligns the number of positions on the Authorized Position List and amends specific budgeted positions consistent with the Proposed Budget by adding 3.0 net additional budgeted FTEs.
Minimum Wage Adjustments – This resolution adjusts the hourly rate ranges upwards for various classifications with the bottom of the hourly range set at the new minimum wage and compacted supervisory positions effective July 1, 2024. Consistent with the City Council approved ordinance, the minimum wage is scheduled to increase by $0.50 from $17.20 to $17.70 by July 1, 2024 based on the February 2024 annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Salary Schedules for Council Approved Wage Increases – This resolution is required per the California Code of Regulations §570.5. Per State law, the City is required to bring all pay schedules before the governing board for review and approval. The updated salary schedule reflects the respective increases for the following bargaining groups except the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) and related Unrepresented Fire employees wage increases. These two groups’ increases will be updated at a later time once MOU negotiations have concluded.

2 Resolution No. ___
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas and the Milpitas Housing Authority Commission hereby find, determine, and resolve as follows:
1. The City Council and Authority have considered the full record before them, which may include but is not limited to such things as the staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to them. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

4. The budgets for all departments for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, inclusive, contained in this 2024-25 Adopted Budget, are approved as the operating budget for those departments for fiscal 2024-25.
5. The appropriations limit for fiscal year 2024-2025 shall be $140,254,073 as shown in Exhibit 1.
6. Pursuant to Government Code Section 7910, no judicial action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void, or annual the action of the City Council in establishing the appropriations limit for fiscal year 2024-2025 shall be brought unless such action or proceeding shall have been commenced within forty-five (45) days of the date of adoption of this Resolution.
7. Any unused non-salary and benefits-related appropriations at the end of fiscal 2023-2024 may be re-appropriated for continued use in fiscal year 2024-25 subject to the approval of the City Manager. Furthermore, any outstanding contract and/or purchase order obligations (or encumbrances) remaining at the end of FY 2023-2024 are subject to carry-over into FY 2024-25.
8. Subject to any grant restrictions, unspent appropriations that are authorized and funded by grant revenues from prior fiscal year will automatically be carried over to current year’s budgets.
Unspent City funded grant appropriations from prior fiscal year will automatically be carried over to the current year’s budgets.

10. No office, department, or agency shall expend any amount or incur any liability or enter into any contract, which by its terms involves expenditures of money for any purpose in excess of the amounts appropriated for the particular departments, and funds set forth herein.
11. The City Manager may authorize, when in his or her judgment such action is consistent with the purposes and intent of the 2024-2025 Adopted Budget as approved, budget revisions subject to the following conditions:
Prior Council Approval Not Required. Prior approval of the City Council is not required under the following circumstances:
i. When revisions involve transfers from the Unanticipated Expenditure Reserve less than or equal to the aggregate amount adopted within the budget in any one fiscal year ($1,300,000 in FY 2024-25), provided that the Council is notified in writing of the revision, giving the reason, the amount of the revision and the year-to-date total amount of revisions as part of the quarterly financial reports.
3 Resolution No. ___
ii. When revisions involve transfers from the appropriated leave cash-out account less than or equal to the aggregate amount adopted within the budget in any one fiscal year ($700,000 in FY 2024-25) to the various departments for cash-outs when employees leave City service.
iii. When revisions involve transfers, or reallocations, within any one fund among the various departments or projects, provided that the amount of transfer in any single instance does not exceed $100,000.
iv. When revisions involve reasonable deviation from the budgeted personnel allocation schedule, provided that at no time the number of permanent funded positions authorized by the City Council is exceeded.
v. When revisions involve hiring full-time employees in overstrength positions for no more than one year as long as appropriations are not exceeded to ensure adequate staffing levels for sworn positions, facilitate training of new employees by the outgoing incumbent or respond to urgent staffing needs.
vi. When revisions involve adding/deleting positions or moving positions between departments to respond to organizational needs, as long as the number of permanent funded positions and the approved personnel cost appropriations remain the same. vii. When revisions involve allocating, redistributing and/or appropriating monies between department and non-department divisions so as to reflect budgetary savings in one or more departments.
viii. For Police goods and services to be purchased from Asset Seizure funds, the City Manager or his/her designee, has the authority to purchase such goods or services if the expenditures of such goods and services do not exceed the amount designated from Asset Seizure funds as approved by the City Council during the Budget hearing. ix. To use judgment to modify citywide administrative financial policies and procedures from time to time that are consistent with municipal government best practices unless those policies would otherwise be in conflict with the budget provisions incorporated in this Resolution or the City’s Municipal Code.
x. Exhibit 2 lists contracts and payments that are specifically identified in the budget document and materials enclosed herein. None of these contracts require a formal, public bidding process. The list of contracts and payments is hereby approved and the City Manager is authorized to execute and enter into these contracts and make these payments during fiscal year 2024-25 up to the amounts listed by contract or payment in Exhibit 2.
12. Prior Council Approval Required. Prior approval of the City Council is required for revisions to the 2024-2025 Final Budget as adopted if any of the following are involved:
i. An increase in overall appropriation level within any one Fund. ii. The transfers or reallocation of appropriations greater than $100,000 between different Funds, except not for reallocations between subfunds within one Fund. iii. Changes providing for increases or decreases in funded permanent personnel counts in the adopted Budget.
iv. Contract change orders which would cause the aggregate contract amount to exceed $100,000 and/or exceed prior approved appropriation levels for the subject contract.
4 Resolution No. ___
v. Transfers from Unanticipated Expenditure Reserve, which would cause the aggregate amount of $1,300,000 during fiscal year 2024-25, to be exceeded. vi. Result in changes not consistent with the purpose and intent of the Budget as adopted.
vii. Require an appropriation action from any unassigned fund balances or reserves.
13. Information establishing the current budget situation and steps to be taken to present balanced City Budgets have been presented during the public hearing on this meeting June 4, 2024, and in prior budget presentations.
14. The approval of the 2024-25 Adopted Budget, including the authority to enter into any contract, make payments, or undertake other actions, does not commit the City to any action that may have significant effect on the environment. This is because the actions are financial or administrative and do not directly impact the environment or the environmental impacts of any action would be speculative to analyze at this time. As a result, there is no potential impact on the environment from this action per Section 15061(b) (3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines and this action does not constitute a project under CEQA per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4). Although the budget does authorize certain types of contracts to be entered into, none are anticipated to have any environmental impact at the time of entering into the contract, and if ultimately leading to a project that could impact the environment, the impacts of that action will be analyzed once the project is designed and the analysis is no longer speculative.

Gann Appropriations Limit Analysis
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, more commonly referred to as the Gann Initiative or Gann Appropriations Limit, was approved by California voters in November 1979 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of taxes that state and local governmental agencies can receive and spend each year. If an agency receives more revenue than the Appropriations Limit, the excess revenue must be returned to the taxpayers through a tax reduction or refund within the next two years. Alternatively, the agency can increase its Appropriations Limit through voters’ approval.
Each year’s limit is based on the amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in Fiscal Year 1978-79 in each agency, modified for changes in inflation and population in each subsequent year. The City Council must adopt, by resolution, an Appropriations Limit for the following year. Using the population and per capita personal income change factors provided by the State of California, the City’s Appropriations Limit for FY2024-25 has been computed to be $140,254,073. Appropriations subject to the limitation in FY2024-25 budget total $102,105,622 that is $38,148,451 less than the computed limit.
The following chart shows the annual Appropriations Limit and the tax proceeds received since Fiscal Year 2015-16. The amounts for Tax Proceeds have been restated to exclude Franchise Fees, which were inadvertently included in the past, which is inconsistent with the law. The City has not exceeded its annual Appropriations Limit in any single fiscal year. The City has been under 80% of the limitation and should not be impacted by the Appropriations Limit.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Certifying Election Results and Adding the Properties Located at 675 Trade Zone Blvd and 1951 Tarob Court into Community Facilities District No. 2008-1 (Annexation No. 26) (Staff Contact: Christian Di Renzo, Public Works Director, 408-586-2602 and Michael Silveira, City Engineer, 408-586-3355)
Category: Public Hearings-Community Development
Meeting Date: 6/4/2024
Recommendation: Following receipt of election results from the City Clerk, adopt a resolution certifying election results and adding the properties located at 675 Trade Zone Blvd and 1951 Tarob Court into Community Facilities District No. 2008-1 (Annexation No. 26).
BACKGROUND:
On February 27, 2023, the City Council approved a Site Development Permit (SD22-0006), Conditional Use Permit (UP22-0002), Vesting Tentative Map (MT22-0002), Density Bonus Permit (DB22-0001), Tree Removal Permit (TR22-0006) and Environmental Assessment (EA22-0003), to allow the construction of 78 townhome condominiums and twelve (12) accessory dwelling units consisting of thirteen (13) multi-family residential buildings on 4.1 acres located within the Transit Area Specific Plan / Milpitas Metro Specific Plan Area at 675 Trade Zone Boulevard and 1951 Tarob Court (“Project”) to be constructed by Toll West Coast, LLC (“Developer”).
ANALYSIS:
The Project is comprised of:
• Parcel One: Parcel 2 as shown on the parcel map filed September 20, 1993 in book 650 of maps, pages 25 and 26 in the office of the Recorder of the County of Santa Clara, State of California; and • Parcel Two: Parcel 3 as shown on that certain map entitled, “Parcel Map”, which map was filed for record in the office of the recorder of the County of Santa Clara, State of California on November 28, 1978 in book 431 of maps, page(s) 2 and 3)
The Project is subject to annexation into Community Facilities District No. 2008-1 (CFD 2008-1). The City has on file a Certificate of Registrar of Voters from the County of Santa Clara certifying there are zero (0) registered voters within the boundaries of the proposed CFD 2008-1 – Annexation No. 26 for this development. On May 30, 2024, the property owners voted on agree the proposed Annexation No. 26. The proposed resolution attached hereto, depending on the results of the election to be determined at the hearing, documents the anticipated results of the election on annexation into CFD 2008-1 which is subject to the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, commencing with Section 53311 of the Government Code.
While the Act has several requirements for annexation and imposition of the special tax, the Developer (as the sole landowner within the annexation territory) has agreed to waive many of the formalities. A copy of the waiver executed by the Developer is on file with the City Clerk.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Deny Annexation of the Project to CFD 2008-1.
Pros: None
Cons: Denying the Annexation of the Project into the CFD No. 2008-1 would prevent the City from funding necessary public services through levying special taxes on these parcels.
Reason for Not Recommending: Staff recommends adopting a resolution certifying the election results and adding the Project to CFD 2008-1 to adequately fund the perpetual maintenance of improvements and services within Annexation No. 26.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adding the Project to the CFD No. 2008-1 would allow the City to levy special taxes on this parcel to fund public services to support the development.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
This project is covered under the scope of activities approved under the Transit Area Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report, SCH2006032091, which was certified by City Council on June 3, 2008. On February 7, 2023, the City Council found that the project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3(b) (Residential Infill) in that the project is located in an urban area that has either been previously developed or that adjoins existing qualified urban uses on at least 75 percent of the site’s perimeter; satisfies the performance standards provided in CEQA Guidelines Appendix M; and is consistent with the general use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the project area in either a sustainable communities strategy or an alternative planning strategy.
Furthermore, there is no reasonable possibility the project will have a significant effect on the existing environment due to unusual circumstances, no substantial changes with respect to residential infill in the immediate area have occurred since community-level environmental review was certified (June 3, 2008), no new information has become available regarding any residential infill project, and could not have been known at the time that community-level environmental review was certified and adopted. As a separate and independent basis, the Project is also exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 (Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan).
RECOMMENDATION:
Following receipt of the election results from the City Clerk, adopt a resolution certifying election results and adding 675 Trade Zone Boulevard and 1951 Tarob Court to Community Facilities District No. 2008-1 (Annexation No. 26).

Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 95 -1 - McCarthy Ranch (LLMD 95-1 McCarthy Ranch) provides for the maintenance and improvement of public landscaping, irrigation systems, pedestrian lighting, gateway columns and entry signs along portions of North McCarthy Boulevard and the Ranch Drive gateway between State Route 237 and Dixon Landing Road in the areas as shown on the attached location map (Attachment 3).
ANALYSIS:
On May 7, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9319 approving the Annual Engineer’s Report and Resolution No. 9320 declaring its intention to levy and collect an assessment for Fiscal Year 2024-25 for the LLMD 95-1 McCarthy Ranch.
An annual public hearing is necessary to adopt a resolution confirming the assessment and ordering the levy for the LLMD 95 -1 - McCarthy Ranch for Fiscal Year 2024-25 (Attachment 1), and the Annual Engineer’s Report (Attachment 2) to provide funds for the district. The total assessment for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 is $0.0381 per lot square foot, with an assessment rate not exceeding the maximum rate per square foot of $0.0550. The FY 2024-25 rate is approximately 4.38% higher than the previous year’s rate of $0.0365.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Not approve the Resolution for LLMD 95-1 McCarthy Ranch.
Pros: None.
Cons: If the City Council does not adopt the Resolution according to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the City will be unable to collect assessments for LLMD 95-1 McCarthy Ranch.
Reason not recommended: Staff recommends approving the Resolution confirming the assessment and ordering the levy for FY 2024-25 to allow for the continued maintenance and servicing of LLMD 95 -1 - McCarthy Ranch.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The levy and collection of assessments provides the City with the needed resources for the maintenance and the servicing of improvements. The FY 2024-25 maintenance cost budget for the LLMD 95 -1 - McCarthy Ranch is estimated to be $462,838.00. The LLMD is also required to maintain an operating reserve.

1. Open the public hearing, receive any comments, and move to close the hearing following any testimony.
2. Adopt a Resolution confirming the assessment and ordering the levy for Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 95 -1 - McCarthy Ranch for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Fiscal Year 2024/25 – LLMAD No. 95-1 Annual Report 1
1. ENGINEER’S LETTER
WHEREAS, in 1995, the City Council of the City of Milpitas (the “City”), State of California, under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the “Act”), created the City of Milpitas Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 95-1 (the “District”) in order to provide for the continued maintenance, operation, and administration of various improvements within the boundaries of the District; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has directed NBS to prepare and file a report for Fiscal Year 2024/25 in accordance with Chapter 1, Article 4 of the Act presenting plans and specifications describing the general nature, location, and extent of the improvements to be maintained; an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate, and service the improvements for the District for the referenced fiscal year; a diagram for the District showing the area and properties to be assessed; and an assessment of the estimated costs to maintain and service the improvements, stating the net amount to be assessed upon all assessable lots or parcels within the District in proportion to the special benefit received.
NOW THEREFORE, the following assessments have been calculated in accordance with the assessment methodology adopted and approved by the City Council at the time of District formation, and are made to cover the portion of the estimated costs of maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements, to be paid by the assessable real property within the District in proportion to the special benefit received:

(1) The April 1, 2024 Consumer Price Index (CPI) provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was not available at the time of writing of this report. The Fiscal Year 2024/25 CPI increase was estimated using the February 1, 2024 CPI. (2) Amounts placed on the tax roll include the 1% Santa Clara County Collection Fee. (3) This amount is only an estimate and does not reflect the final billed amount with rounding adjustments. Refer to Section 7 for the rounded figure.
I identified all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them from the improvements described in District’s Plans and Specifications section of this Engineer’s Report (the “Benefited Parcels”) have been identified. For particulars as to the identification of said parcels, reference is made to the Assessment Diagram, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
I have assessed the costs and expenses of the improvements upon the Benefited Parcels. In making such assessment:
a. The proportionate special benefit derived by each Benefited Parcel from the improvements was determined in relationship to the entirety of the maintenance costs of the improvements; b. No assessment has been imposed on any Benefited Parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on such parcel from the improvements; and c. Any general benefits from the improvements have been separated from the special benefits and only special benefits have been assessed.

Fiscal Year 2024/25 – LLMAD No. 95-1 Annual Report 7
4. SPECIAL AND GENERAL BENEFIT
The improvements defined in Section 2 are expected to confer certain special benefits to parcels within the District. The special benefits are described in this section. Figures in this section are derived from a Special v. General Benefit Analysis performed in Fiscal Year 2020/21.
4.1 Identification of Benefit
Section 4 of Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred,” and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed.
4.2 Special Benefits Identified
The improvements described in Section 2 are expected to confer certain special benefits to parcels within the District. The special benefits conferred to property within the District can be grouped into three primary benefit categories: aesthetic benefit, safety benefit, and economic benefit. The three District benefit categories are further expanded upon below.
• Improved Aesthetics: The aesthetic benefit relates to the increase in the overall aesthetics as a result of the ongoing maintenance, servicing, and operation of the improvements within the District. The landscaping improvements enhance the overall image and desirability of the properties within the District. Street landscaping improvements improve the livability, commercial activity, appearance, and desirability for properties within the District. Regular maintenance ensures that the improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair, so as to be materially detrimental to properties adjacent to or in close proximity to the improvements. The overall appeal of the District is enhanced when improvements are in place and kept in a healthy and satisfactory condition. Conversely, appeal decreases when improvements are not wellmaintained, unsafe, or destroyed by the elements or vandalism. Streetscapes have a significant effect on how people view and interact with their community.1 With streetscapes that are safe and inviting, people are more likely to walk, which can help reduce automobile traffic, improve public health, stimulate local economic activity, and attract residents and visitors to the community.2 • Increased Safety: Well-maintained areas mitigate crime, especially vandalism, and enhance pedestrian safety. A recent study found that after landscape improvements were installed, there was a 46% decrease in crash rates across urban arterial and highway sites and a second study reviewed found a 5% to 20% reduction in mid-block crashes after trees and planters in urban arterial roads were put in place. In addition, there is less graffiti, vandalism, and littering in outdoor spaces with natural landscapes than in comparable plant-less spaces. 3 The Victoria Transport 1 Victoria Transport Policy Institute.

Fiscal Year 2024/25 – LLMAD No. 95-1 Annual Report 8
Policy Institute has found that streetscapes reduce traffic speeds and when combined with improved pedestrian crossing conditions can significantly reduce collisions. 4 • Economic Activity: Well-maintained street landscape improvements not only make adjacent properties appear more stable and prosperous but can spur investment in the property. The National Complete Streets Coalition notes that street design that is inclusive of all modes of transportation, where appropriate, not only improves conditions for existing businesses, but also is a proven method for revitalizing an area and attracting new development. 5Landscaped sidewalks create an inviting place for customers to shop and do business. 6 Well-maintained and safe District areas will encourage an increase in the overall pedestrian activity. The area will become more pedestrian friendly, thus improving the retail environment by encouraging individuals to shop, dine, and stay within the District boundaries. The District will provide a cleaner more inviting environment to businesses and consumers which will attract, retain and expand the retail and business climate throughout. The effort will reduce vacancy rates and increase lease rates and utilization of property within the District.
4.3 General Benefits Identified
Section 4 of Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred,” and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed.
General benefit is an overall and similar benefit to the public at large resulting from the maintenance of the District’s improvements provided by the assessments levied. The improvements to be maintained by the District are located within the District boundaries only. There will be no District maintenance activities provided for improvements located outside of the District boundaries.
The ongoing maintenance of the District improvements will provide aesthetic, safety and economic activity benefits to the property within the District. However, it is recognized that the ongoing maintenance activities will also provide a level of benefit to some property within proximity to the District, as well as individuals passing through. Therefore, the general benefit created as a result of the District maintenance activities has been considered.
4.4 Quantification of Benefit
As a result of the maintenance and operation of the improvements, there will be a level of general benefit to people that do not work or intend to conduct business within the District. In order for property within the District to be assessed only for that portion of special benefits received from the District’s maintenance 4 Victoria Transport Policy Institute. (2011).

activities, general benefits provided by the ongoing maintenance of the improvements need to be quantified. The amount of general benefit that is provided from the District’s maintenance activities cannot be funded via property owners’ assessments.
Based upon the City’s General Plan, the streets within the City are classified into one of the following categories: freeway, expressway, arterial, collector or local streets. The landscaping improvements are primarily located along N McCarthy Boulevard and Ranch Drive and situated within the public rights-ofway. The portion of the maintained landscaping that is located along N McCarthy Boulevard (classified as an arterial street) provides some general benefit to pass-through traffic.
Arterial streets are intended to provide a higher degree of mobility and generally serve longer vehicle trips.
The landscape improvements within the District boundaries not only serve the parcels in the immediate vicinity, but persons who live outside of the District and are passing by. The City’s most recent traffic study7 completed in 2016 does not identify the percentage of traffic, which is pass-through traffic, but it does provide an estimated number of daily trips for N McCarthy Boulevard at the entrance of the District.
However, the daily trip count estimate is lower than the trip count utilized in the 2015 findings report. This would not be expected with the increase in development to this area. Therefore, In the absence of a more recent reading of traffic along N. McCarthy Boulevard, the 2015 average number of daily trips of 35,050 per the General Plan has been utilized for the base trip count.
In order to account for the estimated increase in daily average trips as a result of the increased development, the City commissioned a traffic study for each new development. Per the traffic studies, it is estimated there will be an increase of 9,156 average daily trips. Adding this increase to the 35,050 previously identified above, the estimated number of average vehicles per day is 44,206 as shown below.
Street Name
Average Number of
Vehicles per Day
N McCarthy Boulevard – between SR 237 and Ranch Drive 44,206 Before the determination and allocation of the percentage of special and general benefit for the District can be made, the estimated pass-through traffic must be computed. The pass-through trips are vehicles driving along the maintained streets for a portion of their trips, but not working, shopping or conducting business in the District or benefiting from the landscaping improvements in place.
Research consistently shows that developments with multiple land uses that make walking safe and convenient and are near other development, allow residents and workers to drive significantly less if they choose. While this District is not a mixed-use development, there are multiple land uses adjacent to one another. Therefore, treating this development area as though the uses were separated and accessible only by car would result in inflated trip counts in comparison to conventional, single-use developments.
In lieu of having a comprehensive traffic study that identifies the pass-through traffic, the estimated number of special benefit trips for each parcel has been determined using the average daily trips according 7 City of Milpitas.

to the ITE Trip Generation Report, 9th Edition8 and the 2010 NCHRP Report 684 Enhancing Trip Capture Estimation for Mixed-use Developments9.
Utilizing the ITE Trip Generation Report, each parcel within the District was assigned an average daily number of special benefit trips using the parcel’s land use, building size or number of units. Further, to ensure the number of trips generated by the parcels has not been overstated, the percentage of total trips that are made internally within the development has been considered. Using the 2010 NCHRP Report 684 Enhancing Trip Capture Estimation for Mixed-Use Developments, the total special benefit trips have been reduced by approximately 31% (19,258 trips) to account for internal trips between the various businesses within the District. The total number of special benefit trips is therefore 42,864 as shown below.

Fiscal Year 2024/25 – LLMAD No. 95-1 Annual Report 11
The commonly accepted distance people will walk for public transportation, goods and services is onequarter mile.11 However, based on the location of the District, and given that it is bounded by State Route 880 and 237, and Coyote Creek, there is not an efficient or practical means of walking into the District.
Although unlikely, a person may decide to use the paths within the District, and as such the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetics, increased safety, and economic activity benefits resulting from the landscaping improvements is estimated to be 1.00%.
Pass-thru Walking General Benefit 1.00%
An estimated 1% of all US trips are made by bicycle12. Although the District is bounded by State Route 880 and 237, and Coyote Creek, there is a bike lane on N McCarthy Boulevard and a bike path along Coyote Creek13. According to the National Household Travel Surveys, 49% of bike trips are for recreation, exercise, and sports14. As result of the District maintenance activities, there will be a level of general benefit to bicycle traffic that is not associated with property in the District. As such the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetics, increased safety, and economic activity benefits resulting from the landscaping improvements is estimated to be .50%, rounded up to 1.00%.
Pass-thru Biking General Benefit 1.00%
Collective District-Wide General Benefit
Since the District is comprised of improved aesthetics, safety, and economic activity benefits resulting from the collective landscaping improvements, the activity of both pedestrians and vehicles must be addressed in a collective form rather than independently. The sum of the calculated general benefits is the total general benefit related to vehicle, walking, and biking pass-thru traffic. This general benefit result is provided in the table below:
Pass-thru Vehicle General Benefit 3.04%
Pass-thru Walking General Benefit 1.00%
Pass-thru Biking General Benefit 1.00%
Total General Benefit 5.04%
The general benefit, which is the percentage of the total budget that must be funded through sources other than assessments, is 5.04%. The special benefit then, which is the percentage of the budget that may be funded by assessments, is 95.00%. This general benefit percentage is in line with the level of general benefit determined by the assessment engineer at formation of the District (less than 10%). 11 Walkscore. (2014).
