CITY OF MILPITAS
AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Approve the Santa Clara Countywide Food Recovery Program Memorandum of Understanding (Staff Contact: Christian Di Renzo, Public Works Director, 408- 586-2602; and Elaine Marshall, Deputy Public Works Director, 408-586-2603) Category: Consent Calendar-Community Services and Sustainable Infrastructure Meeting Date: 6/18/2024
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the Santa Clara County Recycling and Waste Reduction Technical Advisory Committee member jurisdictions establishing ongoing management and operation of the edible food recovery program to comply with the requirements of Senate Bill 1383 (California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy).
BACKGROUND:
California Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), which was signed into law in 2016, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by significantly reducing organic waste disposal in landfills and addressing food insecurity by “rescuing” surplus food intended for landfill. SB 1383, along with mandated organics/food scraps collection, also requires jurisdictions to establish edible food recovery programs. According to the Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), California sends 11.2 billion pounds of food to landfills annually, some of which is still fresh enough to have been recovered to feed people, while millions of Californians experience food insecurity. SB 1383 requires jurisdictions to establish programs to recover edible food that would otherwise be sent to landfills and that the programs provide this edible food to those experiencing food insecurity. The state goal is to reduce edible food going to landfill by 20%.
In November 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 48.22, amending Chapter 200 (Solid Waste Management) of Title V of the Milpitas Municipal Code, as required by SB 1383. The ordinance includes a section regarding edible food recovery requirements. All Santa Clara County jurisdictions adopted similar ordinances to ensure uniform requirements throughout the county. This simplifies the implementation of SB 1383 for businesses with locations in multiple cities and food recovery organizations that provide services in Santa Clara County.
The City of Milpitas is a member of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which advises the Santa Clara County Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission on countywide solid waste and recycling issues. The TAC is comprised of all Santa Clara County cities and the County of Santa Clara. Since all jurisdictions must comply with SB 1383 requirements, all Santa Clara County jurisdictions use the TAC forum to work together to develop a countywide food recovery program and to share the costs of the program. Doing so leverages economies of scale, allows for efficiencies, and provides programmatic consistency across the county.
The resulting countywide food recovery program began implementation in 2022, the year SB 1383 became effective. An initial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was developed to fund the cost of the countywide edible food recovery program for a one-year period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. This initial MOU was executed by the City Manager, with the Milpitas share of program costs funded from the Public Works Department’s FY 2023-24 budget. This initial MOU was a temporary solution to allow Santa Clara County jurisdictions more time to craft an ongoing Food Recovery Program, operating structure, and cost share.
This past year, the TAC evaluated multiple long-term funding mechanism and organizational structure options within the County and determined the current funding mechanism and organizational structure under the initial one-year MOU is the most cost-effective and efficient manner for participating jurisdictions to jointly administer and fund the food recovery program. The TAC also determined an MOU continues to be the most appropriate governance document to memorialize the terms and conditions, and to keep the successful countywide food recovery program operating.
ANALYSIS:
In 2023, all Santa Clara County TAC jurisdictions finalized the Countywide Food Recovery Program and drafted MOU language for an “evergreen” program, meaning the MOU and its terms and conditions would remain in effect until the jurisdiction withdraws from the agreement or the TAC terminates the agreement using the TAC Memorandum of Agreement organizational voting process. The resulting long-term MOU to be executed by all jurisdictions with an effective date of July 1, 2024 is attached (Attachment A). This document was discussed in depth by each jurisdictions’ program staff and reviewed by legal counsel/City Attorney’s offices from all participating jurisdictions. The long-term MOU formalizes the commitment of participating jurisdictions to make annual contributions to fund the proportional costs of the Countywide Food Recovery Program. Jurisdictions may also use the long-term MOU to contribute additional funds for optional program enhancements that will be considered and approved by the TAC annually as part of its annual workplan and budget process. Funding contributions will be collected by the County as the current Fiscal Agent for the TAC.
The overall Countywide Food Recovery Program budget will not increase by more than ten percent (10%) from the prior year budget without prior approval by the County of Santa Clara Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission during its annual budget approval process. Milpitas’s share of Program costs is $23,842 for FY 2024-25 and $25,705 for FY 2025-26. The MOU specifies the terms and timing for jurisdictions to withdraw from the MOU and Program participation.
Per SB 1383, certain commercial edible food generators (e.g., wholesale food vendors, large grocery stores/supermarkets, large restaurants, large hotels with food facilities, large venues/events) are required to enter into contracts or written agreements with food recovery organizations or services that will collect edible food for recovery. Milpitas has 113 such food recovery generators. This MOU provides for base program services through the Countywide Food Recovery Program that include:
•Reviewing and updating the lists of generators
•Providing requirements for large events within each jurisdiction •Providing information and data for inclusion in annual reports to CalRecycle •Providing education and outreach to generators
•Coordinating with food recovery organizations to compile reports •Conducting inspections and monitoring of generators and food recovery organizations •Maintaining a list of food recovery organizations and services •Preparing an annual report on program activities
•Connecting generators with food recovery organizations In addition to the base program services, jurisdictions provide contributions toward infrastructure enhancements. Examples include grants to increase the food recovery capacity of food recovery organizations, and food waste prevention classes to provide food recovery tips and best practices.
Establishing a food recovery program is an SB 1383 mandate, and participating in the countywide program is the best option for the City of Milpitas to be in compliance. By working together, jurisdictions realize cost savings through economies of scale, are a part of a consistent countywide program, and take advantage of program efficiencies. All jurisdictions in Santa Clara County are participating in this food recovery program and paying into the program based on their number of food recovery generators. The Santa Clara County food recovery program is very successful and was showcased by CalRecycle as an example of how other regions in California might want to organize.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Do not participate in the MOU and create a standalone food recovery program for the City of Milpitas.
Pros: Creating an individual food recovery program allows for more customization and flexibility.
Cons: The costs for creating a standalone program would require more staff resources and local costs would be much higher than the cost of participating in the countywide program. If the City did not participate in the
countywide food recovery program, and did not establish its own food recovery program, the City would not be in compliance with SB 1383 and the State could impose daily fines until compliance was met.
Reason for Not Recommending: The City of Milpitas does not have the capacity, specialized knowledge, or funds required to create and operate a food recovery program. By participating in a coordinated effort with other participating cities in the County, Milpitas is able to take advantage of economies of scale and consistent services with surrounding cities. It is in the best interest of the City to continue to participate in the program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City of Milpitas received $217,999 in non-competitive grant funding from CalRecycle for SB 1383 compliance activities and will use this grant funding for the next two fiscal years to fund the City’s portion of the Countywide Food Recovery Program. Per the MOU, the Countywide Food Recovery Program will prepare a two-year budget. For FY 2024-25, Milpitas’s contribution will be $23,842, and for FY 2025-26 it will be $25,705 for a total of $49,547. Unless additional grant funding is made available by CalRecycle, funding for Program participation beyond FY 2024-25 will come from the Solid Waste Fund (Fund 280).
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
The item is exempt from CEQA as there will be no physical change to the environment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the Santa Clara County Recycling and Waste Reduction Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) member jurisdictions, establishing ongoing management and operation of the edible food recovery program to comply with the requirements of SB 1383 (California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy).

1 EXHIBIT A
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This document describes the Santa Clara County Food Recovery Program, serving as the food recovery program (“Program”) on behalf of all jurisdictions (“Jurisdictions ”) within the County, coordinating with the Jurisdictions performing their own enforcement. The details of the Program conform to the California Code of Regulations (14 CCR Section 18995.2 (f)(8), 14 CCR Section 18991.2 14 CCR Section 18991.1).
I. PURPOSE
The Countywide Program benefits the Jurisdictions by alleviating the need for duplicative staff, cost analysis, capacity assessment, expenditures for infrastructure, labor, administration, and record keeping for the edible food recovery activities in their Jurisdiction. Additionally, this approach creates one uniform, standardized, and coordinated effort throughout the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County.
II. RESPONSIBILITIES
Jurisdictions
A. Shall develop a method to accept and keep records of written complaints, including anonymous complaints, regarding an entity that may be potentially non-compliant. Full details of the complaint will be communicated to the Program Manager within 10 days of receipt.
B. Shall refer all questions received about the Program portions of SB 1383 implementation to the Program Manager within 10 business days. Jurisdictions should include the Program Manager in all communications to generators or food recovery organizations or services.
C. Shall maintain access to the shared database program to stay in compliance with the intent and structure of the Implementation Record which shall follow the format and elements as promulgated by CalRecycle, or other relevant statutory or administrative requirements.
D. On an annual basis, Jurisdictions shall review and provide feedback to the Program Manager on inspection protocol, triggers, and enforcement processes. Cities and unincorporated County are encouraged to follow the procedures and stay within the suggested timeline for enforcement action set forth in the Monitoring Procedures document.
E. When informed by the Program Manager, Jurisdictions will work with the Program Manager in carrying out enforcement action with edible food generators or food recovery organizations or
2 services not in compliance. The Program Manager will recommend edible food generators or food recovery organizations or services for enforcement action, and the enforcement action taken will be at the discretion of the Jurisdiction. All enforcement action will be tracked in the Program’s shared database, so it is readily available to the Program Manager, Jurisdictions, and can become part of the Implementation Record.
F. Jurisdictions will determine what large events are happening in their jurisdiction. Within 10 days of an applicant being issued a permit for a new large event, as defined below, the Jurisdiction will notify the Program about the event, and share contact information for the event organizer. This is only for large events that meet the CalRecycle threshold for the definition:
“Large Event” means an event, including, but not limited to, a sporting event or a flea market, that charges an admission price, or is operated by a local agency, and serves an average of more than 2,000 individuals per day of operation of the event, at a location that includes, but is not limited to, a public, nonprofit, or privately owned park, parking lot, golf course, street system, or other open space when being used for an event. By September 1 of each year, Jurisdictions will review the large events included in the shared database of regulated entities, to update the database to ensure no recurring events have been missed.
G. Shall work with the Program Manager on any related issues requiring Program assistance or lead in resolving the issue(s) related to complaints and/or noncompliance for any edible food generator or Food Recovery Organization or Service.
Program Manager
The Program Manager shall responsibly execute the management of the Santa Clara County Food Recovery Program (the Program). The Program Manager:
A. Shall develop and coordinate a standardized and uniform method to comply with California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12, “Short-Lived Climate Pollutants.” The Program Manager will operate within the Jurisdiction’s boundaries and replace the need for the Jurisdiction to create such a program on its own.
B. In the event of a CalRecycle Implementation Schedule for a food recovery capacity shortfall identified during a Santa Clara County Edible Food Recovery Capacity Assessment, The Program will work to develop the Implementation Schedule with CalRecycle and manage the effort to fund necessary capacity improvements as outlined in the Schedule. Additional Base Program costs beyond the allowable 10% yearly increase may be needed. The RWRC will review and approve or deny any needed budget changes. Funds will be collected based on the number of edible food generators and their auxiliary sites in each Jurisdiction.
3 C. Shall conduct a review, each fiscal year, of potential new edible food generators, to ensure that as businesses open in Santa Clara County the appropriate regulated entities are added to the lists. Closing businesses will be identified during the reporting process and be eliminated from the lists.
D. Shall provide the Jurisdictions with the information and data necessary for the Jurisdictions to make their required reports to the California Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery (“CalRecycle”).
E. Shall retain records of inspections in the Jurisdictions for a minimum of five (5) years.
F. Shall notify the Jurisdictions promptly about any related issues that require the Jurisdictions ’ assistance or to request the Jurisdictions lead in resolving the issue(s) that arise related to non- compliance.
G. Shall fulfill and endeavor to exceed the annual education requirement for the Jurisdictions and provide the data needed for Jurisdictions to complete required CalRecycle reports.
H. Solicit required Food Recovery Reports from generators and Food Recovery Organization/Services, compile and provide the results to Jurisdictions for inclusion in the Implementation Records, and to Santa Clara County for use in future Capacity Planning efforts.
I. Shall conduct inspections and monitoring in compliance with CalRecycle expectations for Edible Food Generators and Food Recovery Organizations and Services.
J. The Program shall supply appropriate content for a web site, including a list of Food Recovery Organizations and Services (to be updated at least annually) and be accessible to Edible Food Generators.
K. The Program shall represent the interests of the Program with other entities, counties, and CalRecycle.
L. The Program will develop procedures and timelines for cities and unincorporated County to encourage uniformity in enforcement, which the Cities and County would be encouraged to follow.
M. The Program shall create reports about Program activities each year in September, ahead of the budgeting process for the next fiscal year. These reports shall include a narrative about the Food Recovery Program activities, statistics, total number of pounds of food recovered as reported by
4 Edible Food Generators and Food Recovery Organizations (“FROs”), and any additional information needed by the Jurisdictions. Statistics about food waste prevention and food recovery in Santa Clara County will be shared publicly.
Edible Food Recovery Enhancements Program
The Edible Food Recovery Enhancements Program are any activities, annually identified by the Program Manager, that the Program Manager will undertake to ensure efficient food recovery and food waste prevention should the Jurisdictions choose to fund the chosen projects. Projects may include, but are not limited to, strategic capacity enhancements, projects that promote the efficient recovery of surplus food or the prevention of surplus food, as well as direct support of ongoing recovery activities, subject to approval of the RWRC.
Technical Advisory Committee Contracting Agent
A. The Contracting Agent will execute a contract with the Program Manager, chosen by the TAC, for the services outlined in the responsibilities above. The Contract will go into greater detail to ensure that all SB 1383 regulatory imperatives are handled by the Program.
B. The Contracting Agent will set up an invoicing system to pay the Program for the responsibilities outlined above.
III. ENFORCEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES FOR JURISDICTIONS
Each Jurisdiction is responsible for working with the Program on enforcement actions. Although the Jurisdiction is ultimately responsible for enforcement, the Program will support the process by drafting enforcement notices and necessary documents and by providing relevant information about previous inspections and attempts to support compliance. The Program will identify those businesses that need to be evaluated for enforcement action and will work with a Jurisdiction to ensure that CalRecycle compliant documentation is maintained.
IV. RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING
The Program will complete all the record keeping tasks necessary for the Food Recovery Program portions of SB 1383, including records necessary for the Implementation Record. All necessary records will be stored digitally within 5 days of creation, and Jurisdictions will have real-time access to all these records.
The Program shall create a very brief report about Program activities at the end of each fiscal year.
Most programmatic information will be shared in September in the annual report.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Base Program — Countywide Food Recovery Program Management From July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024, Joint Venture Silicon Valley will run the Santa Clara County Food Recovery Program, serving as the food recovery program (Program) on behalf of all jurisdictions (Jurisdictions) of the Parties, and coordinating with any Party performing their own enforcement.
The Base Program
1 10.
Will develop and coordinate a standardized and uniform method to comply with California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12, “Short-Lived Climate Pollutants.” The Program will operate within the Party’s boundaries and replace the need for the Party to create such a program on its own.
Each year by March, the Program will conduct a review of new Tier 1 and Tier 2 Entities, to ensure that as businesses open in Santa Clara County, the appropriate regulated entities are added to the Tier 1 and Tier 2 lists. Closing businesses will be identified during the reporting process, and be eliminated from the lists.
Provide Parties with requirements for inclusion in the ‘large event’ list requested from each Party, as well as provide electronic materials for distribution for large event planners.
Shall provide Parties with the information and data necessary for the Parties to make their required reports to CalRecycle.
Shall retain records of inspections for each Party for a minimum of five (5) years.
Shall notify the Party promptly about any related issues that require the Party’s assistance or to request the Party lead in resolving the issue(s) that arise related to non-compliance.
Shall fulfill the annual education requirement for the Parties and provide the data needed for the Parties to complete required CalRecycle reports.
Shall conduct generator and Food Recovery Organization/Services requests for reports, compile the results, and communicate those results to the jurisdictions for inclusion in the Implementation Record Data Summary, and to Santa Clara County for use in future Capacity Planning efforts.
Shall conduct inspections and monitoring in compliance with CalRecycle expectations for Tier One businesses, Tier Two entities and Organizations, and Food Recovery Organizations and Services.
The Program shall supply appropriate content for the web site, SCCFoodRecovery.org, as well as a list of Food Recovery Organizations and Services. The list will be annually updated and made accessible to Tier 1 and 2 Entities.

13. F14D4D16-76CD-4EFE-B52C-B1A3240516C7
The Program leadership shall represent the interests of the Program with other entities, Counties, and CalRecycle.
The Program leadership shall create reports about Program activities at the end of each fiscal year. These reports shall include monitoring statistics, details on overall compliance, compliance in certain sectors, total number of pounds of food recovered, and a summary of all enforcement actions taken.
Statistics about food recovery in Santa Clara County will be shared on the Office of Sustainability website as part of the Sustainability Master Plan Data Dashboard and the Annual Sustainability Report.
All Parties to this MOU will receive the Base Program services.
Infrastructure Enhancements Program
As shown in Exhibit A of this MOU, jurisdictions have chosen to contribute to the edible food recovery Infrastructure Enhancements Program which will direct additional food recovery resources to participating jurisdictions between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024. The Infrastructure Enhancements Program will include two subprograms, described as follows:
1) Small Capacity Grants. Grants will be issued to increase the food recovery capacity of food 2)
recovery organizations that serve contributing jurisdictions. Applications will be solicited, awards will be issued, and funds will be distributed. Joint Venture Silicon Valley will provide information for Annual Reporting that shows how contributions to this subprogram were spent on behalf of each participating Agency.
Food Waste Prevention Classes. A webinar/in-person series will be advertised for different sectors regulated under SB 1383 (e.g., restaurants, hospitals, schools, large events). The series will promote food waste prevention measures specific to each regulated sector, provide food recovery tips and best practices, and teach businesses and organizations how to comply with SB 1383 and local ordinances. The series will start with Tier 2, and then move into Tier 1 groups that answered ‘zero pounds' in their reports, if funding allows. Joint Venture Silicon Valley will provide information for Annual Reporting that shows how contributions to this subprogram were spent on behalf of each participating Party.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute an Amended Stormwater Management Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement for Toll West Coast, LLC for the Parkside Project at 1980 and 1992 Tarob Court and 551 Lundy Place (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: 6/18/2024
Recommendation: Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Stormwater Management Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement for Toll West Coast, LLC for the Parkside Project at 1980 and 1992 Tarob Court and 551 Lundy Place.
BACKGROUND:
Toll West Coast, LLC (Developer) received three separate entitlements for the development of property located on 1980 and 1992 Tarob Court and 551 Lundy Place Projects, collectively known as Parkside Project (“Project”). The combined project area totals approximately 8.88 acres and is located within the Milpitas Metro Specific Plan Area.
The three development entitlements associated with this Project are as follows:
•September 20, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8587 for the 2.81-acre parcel located at 1980 Tarob Court for construction of 59 residential condominium units with related common areas, utilities, offsite improvements, landscaping, irrigation, and stormwater treatment measures. •October 3, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8702 for the 2.42-acre parcel located at 1992 Tarob Court for construction of 53 residential condominium units with related common areas, utilities, offsite improvements, landscaping, irrigation, and stormwater treatment measures. •February 20, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8748 for the 3.65-acre parcel located at 551 Lundy Place approving construction of 89 residential condominium units with related common areas, utilities, offsite improvements, landscaping, irrigation, and stormwater treatment measures.
On November 15, 2022, the City Council approved a Stormwater Management Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement (Agreement) with the Developer requiring the Home Owner Association (HOA) to operate and maintain the installed stormwater treatment facilities in accordance with the Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and compensate the City to complete the required annual system inspections. Staff is recommending amending the Agreement to include provisions for the Developer (or its successor) to switch the irrigation system to a recycled water supply when it becomes available.
ANALYSIS:
As a condition of approval, the Project is to irrigate the landscape areas by recycled water when it becomes available; in the meantime, the City has granted a temporary use of domestic water for this purpose. The Developer constructed a recycle water main in Tarob Court for future connection but was unable to connect to the operational system as there is no public access to the termination point located in front of the 355 Sango Court Affordable Housing project, approximately 400 feet away. The developer of the GeoMax 2 residential development located at 1905 Tarob Court will construct the final phase of the Sango Court road extension which will provide public access to deliver recycled water to the Project. Once the road extension is completed, no later than 2027, the development’s irrigation system will be switched to use recycled water.
The Developer is nearing the Project’s final completion and ready to form an HOA to manage the residential development which is anticipated in 2025 or 2026. To ensure that the Project switches over to the recycled water supply when the water main along Tarob Court becomes operational, the Developer has agreed to amend the Agreement. The Property Owner will have one year from the date of the City’s notification that the system is operational to switch all irrigation systems supplied by domestic water to recycled water. The approved Project’s construction plans included an irrigation system to be provided by the recycled water system which has been constructed.
Staff recommends the City Council approve the amended Agreement to include Item K and Section 5 to ensure the Property Owner converts the development’s irrigation system. The amendment has been reviewed by the City Attorney and approved as to form, and by the City Engineer as to content.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative: Not approve the amendment to the Agreement with the City for operation, maintenance and annual inspection of stormwater treatment facilities.
Pros: None
Cons: Not approving the amendment to the Agreement would cause the Project to not be compliant with the Conditions of Approval for this Project as well as the requirements of the City’s Municipal Code and State law.
Reason for Not Recommending: To comply with Project conditions and ensure for the use of recycled water for irrigation of the development.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. The Developer (or its successor) will incur the cost to convert the development’s irrigation system to recycled water.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
The City Council approval of the Agreement was already reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) at the time the City Council approved the entitlements for the project thru an initial environmental assessment.
The proposed Project is covered under the scope of activities approved under the Transit Area Specific Plan (TASP)/Metro Plan EIR, SCH#SCH2006032091, which was certified by the Milpitas City Council on June 3, 2008. The EIR included a program of activities including construction of up to 7,109 residential units within the TASP/Metro Specific Plan Area. The proposed 59 residential units and residential amenity space fall within this scope of development activity contemplated in the TASP EIR. LSA Associates completed an environmental assessment of the proposed Project to confirm the proposed Project is within the scope of the TASP EIR. The analysis found that the Project is consistent with the TASP EIR and confirmed the Project is within the scope of development density considered under the TASP EIR. No new impacts were identified and no new mitigation measures are required. Policies and/or mitigation measures required of projects covered under the TASP EIR are included as Conditions of Approval. Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines 15168©(2), the Project is exempt from further review under CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Stormwater Management Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement between Toll West Coast, LLC for the Parkside Project at 1980 and 1992 Tarob Court and 551 Lundy Place.

Notwithstanding the above, it is understood that City is under no obligation to repair or maintain the BMPs, and in no event shall this Agreement be construed to impose any such obligation on City.
(c) Specific Performance. The provisions of this Agreement are expressly dec lared to be for the benefit of the City. The City may bring an action to obtain specific performance of this Agreement and may recover its costs, including attorney fees, incurred in bringing such action.
SECTION 5: Perpetual Use of Recycled Water
This project is required by the conditions of approval to convert all irrigation systems supplied by domestic water to recycled water when recycled water becomes available through an operational recycled water main in Tarob Court. The City shall give the Property Owner written notice when the recycled water main in Tarob Court becomes operational. The Property Owner or its successors in interest shall have one year from the date of service of that notice to convert all irrigation systems supplied by domestic water to recycled water. If the recycled water supply is not available before project final completion, the Property Owner or its successors in interest shall set aside funding within the homeowner’s association’s budget to fund the switch from domestic water supplied irrigation to recycled water supplied irrigation.
If the Property Owner or its successors in interest fails to convert all irrigation systems supplied by domestic water to recycled water within one year of receiving the City’s notice that recycle water is available, it materially breaches its obligations under this section (the "Property Owner’s Breach"), and the Property Owner shall pay to the City fifty dollars ($50.00) for each day a Property Owner Breach continues (the "Liquidated Damages"). The parties intend that the Liquidated Damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge and agree that the City’s harm caused by a Property Owner’s Breach would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a Property Owner’s Breach. In addition to Liquidated Damages, the City may seek other forms of relief, including, but not limited to specific performance and injunctive relief.

Item Title: Adopt a Resolution to Approve Project Conceptual Design and Authorize a Cooperative Purchase Agreement with Williams Scotsman, Inc., through a Cooperative Procurement Contract Solicited by Region 4 Educational Service Center, for Fire Station No.1 Modular Building, Project No. 3465 (Staff Contact:
Christian Di Renzo, Public Works Director; 408-586-2602; Michael Silveira, City Engineer, 408-586-3303)
Category: Consent Calendar-Public Safety
Meeting Date: 6/18/2024
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution to (1) approve project conceptual design; (2) authorize the City Manager to execute a cooperative purchase agreement with Williams Scotsman, Inc., through a cooperative procurement contract solicited by Region 4 Educational Service Center, in an amount not-to-exceed $818,894; and (3) authorize the Public Works Director to negotiate and execute contract change order(s) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000 for Fire Station No.1 Modular Building, Project No. 3465.
Background:
Fire Station No.1 Modular Building, Project No. 3465 (Project) is included in the adopted 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. The Project provides for the design and replacement of an existing modular building at Main Fire Station No.1 located at 777 S. Park Victoria Drive that has exceeded its useful life.
The 36’ x 60’ modular building was installed in the late 1990s to house the fire staff and operations during the construction of the new Fire Station No. 1. Following the completion of the station, it has been primarily served as a venue for firefighting academies, various training courses, and additional office space during significant emergency events. As staff outgrew the Main Fire Station Administration Building, the City Office of Emergency Management (OEM) staff was relocated to the building several years ago. In 2022, the City Engineer at the time deemed the building to be unsafe to continue any functions due to its deteriorating condition and therefore recommended its replacement. As a result, the OEM staff was relocated to a temporary office at the Police Building, and the academies and training courses are temporarily being held in the conference room of Main Fire Station Administration Building until the building is replaced.
Modular buildings like the one serving Fire Station No. 1 come from a rather boutique industry where a specialized vendor provides a comprehensive service from design to installation, which is under the authority of the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development. In collaboration with the Purchasing Agent and City Attorney’s Office, it was determined the solicitation methods under Section I-2-3.01 (Selection of Solicitation Methods) of the City of Milpitas Municipal Code was not practicable, and procuring the new modular building through a cooperative procurement agreement would be the most effective approach for the Project.
The City of Milpitas Municipal Code Section I-2-3.05 (d) (Public Agency Purchases) specifically authorizes the City Manager to execute agreements to purchase supplies and services without complying with the quotation or bidding requirements of Chapter 2 – Purchasing of the Municipal Code, if such purchases are based on an agreement or entered into by any public agency or cooperative purchasing program utilizing public agency procurement as the basis for contracts offered, regardless of whether the City is a named party to the agreement or an actual participant in such a program, provided that (i) the underlying purchase was made using competitive negotiation or procurement procedures, and may include a nationally bid cooperative contract; and (ii) the public agency is a "public agency" as defined in Government Code section 6500.
OMNIA Partners is a shared services and supply chain optimization company dedicated to public procurement, which began operation on January 1, 2019. Each contract in the OMNIA Partners cooperative contract portfolio has been competitively solicited by a lead public agency. OMNIA Partners does not conduct solicitations; rather, they partner with various public agencies in soliciting solid cooperative contracts. All contracts previously solicited, issued and awarded by lead public agencies remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective contract terms and conditions. The City of Milpitas is a member of OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing organization by virtue of its membership with National IPA (now known as OMNIA Partners), effective September 26, 2012, and is assigned Participation Number 1036843.
Analysis:
On December 3, 2020, Region 4 Education Service Center (Region 4 ESC) issued on behalf of itself, other government agencies, non-profits, and all members of OMNIA, Request for Proposal (RFP) #21-05. As a result of that solicitation, Region 4 ESC awarded to Williams Scotsman, Inc. (WillScot) Contract No. R210503 entitled “Modular Buildings, Portable Storage, and Relocatable Walkways”. The contract term is from October 1, 2021, for three years to September 30, 2024, with two, one-year extensions through September 30, 2026. The contract was extended to September 30, 2025. All warranties of parts and buildings shall extend beyond the termination of Contract No. R210503, per Item #13 (Survival Clause) of the cooperative contract “All applicable software license agreements, warranties or service agreements that were entered into between Vendor and Customer under the terms and conditions of the Contract shall survive the expiration or termination of the Contract. All Purchase Orders issued and accepted by Order Filler shall survive expiration or termination of the Contract”.
OMNIA Partners has Contract No. R210503 available through its cooperative purchasing organization to all its public agency members.
The Purchasing Agent has reviewed all documentation related to RFP #21-05 and Contract No. R210503 awarded to WillScot by Region 4 ESC and has determined the contract is current through September 30, 2025, the underlying purchase was made using competitive bidding procedures at least as restrictive as those of the City of Milpitas, and Region 4 ECS meets the definition of a public agency as defined by Government Code Section 6500.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) to approve conceptual design (Attachment 2) for the Project and authorize the City Manager to execute a cooperative purchase agreement (Attachment 3) with Williams Scotsman, Inc., through a cooperative procurement contract solicited by Region 4 Educational Service Center, in an amount not-to-exceed $818,894. There is sufficient funding available in the Project budget to execute this agreement and no additional funding appropriation is required.
The recommended construction contingency for this Project is $100,000 which is 12% of the total contract value to address any additional City Building permitting requirements and any unforeseen conditions that arise during the removal of the existing modular and installation of the new modular. 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 4). 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.
Policy Alternatives:
Alternative 1: Not approving conceptual design and authorizing the City Manager to execute a cooperative agreement with Williams Scotsman, Inc., for the replacement of existing modular building.
Pros: None.
Cons: The current modular building has reached the end of its service life. Without replacing the modular building, the Fire Department will continue to be challenged in finding an appropriate space for firefighting academies, various training courses, and OEM staff.
Reason to not recommend: The replacement of the modular building is essential to the Fire Department to continue to provide critical firefighting academies and training courses and avoid the displacement of City’s Office of Emergency Management staff.
Fiscal Impact:
There is sufficient funding available in the Project budget to approve the agreement. No additional funding appropriation is required. Funding source for CIP Project 3465 comes from General Government CIP Fund and Grants, Reimbursement/Developer Fees. As of June 5, 2024, the balance in CIP 3465 is $ 978,283.
Available Project Budget as of March 31, 2024 $ 978,000 Summary of Estimated Cost
Cooperative Agreement $ 818,894
Construction Contingency $ 100,000
Administration $ 50,000
TOTAL $ 968,894
California Environmental Quality Act:
The project entails replacement of existing structures where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and 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 (1) approve project conceptual design; (2) authorize the City Manager to execute a cooperative purchase agreement with Williams Scotsman, Inc., through a cooperative procurement contract solicited by Region 4 Educational Service, in an amount not-to-exceed $818,894; and (3) authorize the Public Works Director to negotiate and execute contract change order(s) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000 for Fire Station No.1 Modular Building, Project No. 3465.

I. SCOPE OF WORK
Region 4 E ducation Service Center (“Region 4 ESC”) req uests proposals from qua lified suppliers with the intent to enter into a Contract for M odular Buildings, Portable Storage, and Relocatable Walkways. Region 4 ESC is seeking a provi der that has the depth, breadth and quality of resources necessary to complete al l phases of the Contract . Awarded Offeror(s) shall deliver products and services un der the terms of this agreement. While this so licitation specifically covers Modula r Buildings, Portable Storage, and Relocat able Walkways, each awarded Offero r may offer t heir complete pro duct and service offeri ng, o r balance of line.
Region 4 ESC reserves the right to accept or reject any or all balance of line items offered.
Region 4 ESC is an education service center established by the Texas Legislature in 1967 to assist school districts and c harter schools in improving e fficiencies. Region 4 ESC directly serves a sev en-county area comprised of 48 p ublic school districts and 40 open-enro llment charter schools, representin g more than 1. 2 million students, 101,000 educators and 1,500 campuses. Through cooperative contracts Region 4 ESC extends the opportunity to operate more e fficiently and eco nomically to agencie s nationwide through OMNIA Partners (s ee below).
The Contract is based on the need to provide the economic benefits of volume purchasing and reduction in administrative costs through co operative purchasing to sch ools and othe r members. Although the awar ded Offeror(s) ma y restrict sales to certain pub lic units (fo r example, state agencies o r local government units), any pro posal that prohibits sales fro m being made to p ublic school districts may not be c onsidered. Sales without restriction ar e preferred. These ty pes of contracts are commonly referred to as being “piggybackable.”
NATIONAL CONTRACT
Region 4 ESC, as the Princi pal Procurement Agency, defined in Ap pendix D, has partnered with OMNIA Partners, Public Sector (“OMNIA Partners”) to make the result ant contract (also known as the “Master Agr eement” in materials distributed by OMNI A Partners) from thi s solicitation available to other public agencies nationally, including state and local governmental entities, public and private primary, secondary and higher education entities, non-profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit (“Public Agencies”), through OMNIA Partners’ cooperative purchasing program. Region 4 ESC is acting as the contracting ag ency for any other Pub lic Agency that elects to utilize the resulting Master Agreement. Use of the Master Agr eement by any Public Agency is preceded b y their r egistration with OMNIA Partners (a “Participating Public Agency”) and b y using the Master Agreement, any such Participating Public Agency agrees that it is registered with OMNIA Partners, whether pursuant to the terms of a Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, a form of which is a ttached hereto on Appendix D, o r as otherwise agreed to . Appe ndix D contains additio nal information about OMNIA Partners and the cooperative purchasing program.
OMNIA Partners is the large st and most experienced purchasing organization for public and private sector procurem ent. Through the economies of scale created by OMNIA Partners public sector subsidiaries and affiliates, National IPA and U.S. Communities, our participants now ha ve access to more competitively solicited an d publicly awarded cooperativ e agreements. The lead agency contracting process continues to be the foundation on which we are founded . OMNIA Partners is proud to offe r more value and resources to state an d local government, hig her education, K-12 e ducation and n on-profits.
RFP Page 3
OMNIA Partners provides s hared services and supply c hain optimization to government , education and the private sector . With cor porate, pricing and sales commitm ents from t he Offeror, OMNIA Partners provides marketing and administrative support for the Offeror that directly promotes the Offeror’s products and services to Participating Public Agencies though multiple channels, each designed to promote spe cific products and services to Public Agencies on a nationa l basis. Participating Pub lic Agencies benefit from pricing based on aggregate spend and the c onvenience of a contract that has already been advertised and publicly competed. The Offeror benefits from a c ontract that genera lly allows Participating Public Agencies to directly purchase goods and services without the Offeror’s need to respond to additional competitive solicitations. As such, the O fferor must be able to accommodate a nationwide demand for services and to fulfill obligations as a nationwide Offeror and respond to the OMNIA Partners documents (Appendix D).
While no minimum volume is guaranteed to th e Contractor, the estimated annual volume of Modular Buildings, Portable Storage, and Relocatable Walkways purchased under the Master Agreement through OMNIA Partners is approximately $50M. This projection is based on th e current annual volumes among Region 4 ESC, other Participating Public Agencies anticipated to ut ilize the resulting Master Agreement t o be made ava ilable to them through OMNIA Partners, and volume growth into other Pub lic Agencies through a c oordinated marketing approach between the Contractor and OMNIA Partners.
