AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Approve the Draft Program Year 2025 Community Development Block Grant Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (Staff Contact: John Hall, Housing Official, 408-586-3017)
Category: Public Hearings-Community Development
Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
Recommendation:

(1) Approve the draft Program Year (PY) 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER); and (2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make necessary changes and submit the approved draft PY 2025 CAPER to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to comply with CDBG requirements.

BACKGROUND:

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement jurisdictions to prepare a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) following each program year. The CAPER describes the City’s use of CDBG resources, reports accomplishments and expenditures, and evaluates progress toward the goals established in the Annual Action Plan and the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

Program Year (PY) 2025 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026) marked the first year of implementation of the City of Milpitas’ 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Throughout the program year, the City successfully advanced the priorities established in the Consolidated Plan and the PY 2025 Annual Action Plan by investing CDBG resources in activities that expanded access to affordable housing, strengthened community services, promoted economic opportunities, and enhanced the quality of life for low- and moderate-income residents.

The City allocated $1,215,125.05 to twelve (12) activities serving low- and moderate-income residents and other eligible populations. In total, the City expended $983,881.91 during the program year. Remaining available funds and program income are committed to eligible activities continuing into future program years.

Approval of the PY 2025 CAPER ensures compliance with HUD’s reporting requirements and preserves the City's eligibility for CDBG entitlement funding that supports community development and housing programs and services. The CAPER is due to HUD 90 days after the close of the program year. Staff must submit the report to HUD by the September 28, 2026, deadline.

Persons served, or approximately 66 percent of beneficiaries, were assisted through supportive and community service activities. The City’s investments also preserved 148 deed-restricted affordable senior rental units, rehabilitated 14 owner-occupied homes, and assisted 40 income-qualified microenterprises.

CDBG Expenditures and Timeliness

The City expended $983,881.91 in CDBG funds during PY 2025 for affordable housing preservation, public services, economic development, and program administration. Although the City did not meet HUD’s timeliness standard during the reporting period, substantial progress was made in reducing the outstanding balance after execution of the PY 2025 HUD grant agreement. The City accelerated implementation by finalizing subrecipient agreements, processing reimbursements, and increasing drawdowns. Staff continues to implement the City’s Timeliness Workout Plan. The plan focuses on active management of project schedules, expenditures, and available funding to improve expenditure performance and restore compliance with HUD’s timeliness requirements while maintaining federal program compliance.

Public Outreach

Consistent with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan and federal requirements, the draft PY 2025 CAPER was made available for a public review and comment period from August 21 through September 11, 2026. Copies were made available on the City’s website, at City Hall, and at the Milpitas Library. The public notice was translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Simplified Chinese to support participation by residents with limited English proficiency.

The September 15, 2026 City Council meeting provides the required public hearing and an additional opportunity for the community to comment on the City’s PY 2025 CDBG performance and the proposed CAPER submission. Any comments received at the public hearing will be incorporated into the final CAPER, as appropriate, prior to submission to HUD.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not approve the draft PY 2025 CAPER.

Pros: None.

Cons: The City would miss the September 28, 2026 HUD submission deadline and jeopardize future CDBG entitlement funding.

Reason for Not Recommending: Timely CAPER submission is a federal condition of continued participation in the CDBG program.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a) This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.

Program Year (PY) 2025 marked the first year of implementation of the City of Milpitas’ 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Throughout the program year, the City successfully advanced the priorities established in the Consolidated Plan and the PY 2025 Annual Action Plan by investing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) resources in activities that expanded access to affordable housing, strengthened community services, promoted economic opportunity, and enhanced the quality of life for low- and moderate-income residents.

Consistent with the priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan, CDBG investments focused on the following objectives:
• Maintain and Preserve Affordable Housing
• Supportive and Community Services
• Homelessness Prevention and Response
• Public Improvements
• Workforce and Economic Development
• Planning and Administration
During PY 2025, the City allocated CDBG resources to twelve (12) activities that addressed a broad range of community development needs through partnerships with nonprofit organizations and local agencies. Collectively, these investments preserved affordable housing, expanded access to critical supportive services, assisted vulnerable residents, promoted small business recovery, and ensured continued compliance with federal program requirements.

Major accomplishments during PY 2025 include the following:

Affordable Housing Preservation
The City continued to prioritize the preservation of affordable housing through investments benefiting both homeowners and renters.

Page 204 of 336 ends

CAPER 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley (RTSV) completed critical repairs for fourteen (14) owner-occupied housing units, benefiting twenty-two (22) residents. Home improvements included electrical upgrades, plumbing repairs, accessibility modifications, and other emergency repairs. These improvements enabled residents, mainly seniors and persons with disabilities, to safely remain in their homes.

The City also partnered with Terrace Gardens to complete roof replacement on Buildings A through D of its affordable senior housing development. These improvements preserved one hundred forty-eight (148) deed-restricted affordable housing units, extended the useful life of the property, and improved safety and living conditions for senior residents.

Supportive and Community Services
CDBG-funded public service activities provided essential assistance to vulnerable populations throughout the community. • Catholic Charities provided long-term care ombudsman services and advocacy for sixteen (16) Milpitas seniors residing in licensed care facilities.
• Child Advocates of Silicon Valley matched nine (9) Milpitas foster youth with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), providing advocacy and support through the court process.
• Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence provided emergency shelter and supportive services to thirty-one (31) survivors of domestic violence.
• Project Sentinel assisted one hundred and thirty-six (136) residents through housing advocacy, counseling, landlord-tenant mediation, and case management.
• Senior Adults Legal Assistance delivered free legal services to thirty-seven (37) older adults. • Silicon Valley Independent Living Center provided housing-related assistance and independent living services to forty-eight (48) residents with disabilities.
• Sourcewise delivered nutritious meals and supportive services to seventy-seven (77) homebound seniors. • YWCA Silicon Valley provided emergency shelter and supportive services to forty (40) individuals experiencing domestic violence.

Collectively, these activities strengthened the City’s supportive services network while addressing critical needs related to housing stability, legal advocacy, nutrition, disability services, domestic violence prevention, and independent living.

Economic Development

CAPER 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City continued implementation of the Milpitas Microenterprise Assistance Program (MEAP) in partnership with FORWARD. Through this initiative, forty (40) income-qualified local microenterprises received grants that helped offset eligible business expenses, preserve employment opportunities, and support continued economic recovery for locally owned microenterprises.

Program Administration
City staff successfully administered the CDBG Program by ensuring compliance with federal regulations, monitoring subrecipient performance, processing reimbursement requests, completing environmental review requirements, maintaining financial oversight, and providing technical assistance to funded organizations.

Summary of Performance
Overall, the City made substantial progress toward achieving the goals established in the PY 2025 Annual Action Plan. Several performance objectives met or exceeded annual targets, as outlined in Table 1, particularly in the areas of public services.

The accomplishments achieved during PY 2025 demonstrate the City’s continued commitment to preserving affordable housing, supporting vulnerable residents, and investing CDBG resources in activities that produce measurable community benefits.

population. The following priorities were considered to meet the housing and community development needs in Milpitas:
• Maintain and Preserve Affordable Housing
• Supportive and Community Services
• Homelessness Prevention and Response
• Public Improvements
• Workforce and Economic Development
• Planning and Administration
The City successfully achieved and, in several areas, exceeded the goals outlined in the PY 2025 Annual Action Plan (AAP). This was accomplished through strategic planning, strong community partnerships, and data-driven decision-making. For the program year, the City allocated $1,215,125.05 to twelve (12) activities, which addressed a wide range of community needs including home rehabilitation, public services, and economic development. The detailed funding allocation is as follows:

CDBG Formula Funds for Program Year 2025: $555,374
CDBG Prior Year Unused Formula: $64,868.19
Program Income: $594,882.86
In total, 596 Milpitas residents were assisted in Program Year 2025, reflecting the City’s commitment to serving vulnerable populations. A total of 66% (394/596) of clients served with CDBG funds were conducted by supportive and community services activities such as aging-in-place resources, legal advocacy, nutrition programs, access to affordable housing, emergency shelter, counseling, and other supportive services.

A top priority for the City is to maintain and preserve affordable housing, ensuring long-term housing stability and safety for residents. Through an ongoing partnership with Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley, a total of 14 housing units (22 homeowners) were rehabilitated. Twenty-two homeowners, many of whom are elderly or disabled, received critical assistance with emergency home repairs and safety modifications. These repairs included water heater replacements, electrical upgrades, plumbing repairs, and installation of accessibility features such as ramps and

grab bars, which allowed residents to remain safely in their homes.

Regarding affordable housing rental rehabilitation, Terrace Gardens, a 100% affordable senior housing development was awarded CDBG funding for roof replacement. These investments not only improved the safety and longevity of the building but also enhanced the quality of life for senior residents by creating more welcoming and functional shared spaces.

Given the persistent economic challenges faced by local businesses, and building on the success of the pilot Microenterprise Assistance Program (MEAP), the City launched a third round of grants for Milpitas microenterprises. Through targeted outreach and technical assistance, a total of $335,000 was awarded to 40 income-eligible microenterprises. The funding supported activities such as payroll, rent, and business adaptation strategies, thereby helping to preserve jobs and promote economic recovery in the Milpitas business community.

Table 2 summarizes the racial and ethnic characteristics of individuals and households assisted through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)-funded activities during Program Year (PY) 2025, as reported in HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS).

The City of Milpitas remains committed to ensuring that CDBG-funded programs are accessible to all eligible residents regardless of race, ethnicity, or other protected characteristics. Funded activities are implemented on a nondiscriminatory basis and are designed to address the needs of low- and moderate-income residents throughout the community.

The demographic information reported in Table 2 reflects the diversity of Milpitas and demonstrates that CDBG investments benefited residents from a broad range of racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Housing rehabilitation, housing advocacy services, legal assistance, nutrition programs, independent living services, domestic violence assistance, affordable housing preservation, and economic development activities collectively served a diverse cross-section of the community. The City will continue monitoring beneficiary data to ensure future investments remain responsive to community needs and consistent with the priorities established in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan.

Narrative

During PY 2025, the City of Milpitas received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) resources totaling $1,583,485, including the annual entitlement allocation, prior-year funds, and program income.

These resources provided the financial foundation for implementing the priorities identified in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan. While total CDBG resources available for PY 2025 equaled $1.58 million, including prior-year funds and program income, the City allocated $1.22 million to twelve activities during the program year.

The City expended $983,881.91 in CDBG funds during the program year to support affordable housing preservation, public services, economic development initiatives, and program administration. These expenditures reflect projects completed during the reporting period, while the remaining available funds have been committed to eligible activities that will continue into future program years in accordance with HUD regulations and the City's Consolidated Plan.

Although the City did not meet HUD’s timeliness standard during the reporting period, substantial progress was made toward reducing the outstanding balance. Following the execution of the PY 2025 HUD grant agreement, the City accelerated project implementation by finalizing subrecipient agreements, processing reimbursements, and increasing drawdowns. These efforts resulted in the significant expenditures during the latter portion of the program year and established a stronger foundation for continued improvement in future years. Staff continues to implement the City’s Timeliness Workout Plan and is committed to prudent financial management of federal resources.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

The Community Development Block Grant Program serves as an important component of the City's broader affordable housing and community development strategy. While CDBG funding provides critical financial support for eligible activities, the City actively leverages federal, state, local, and private resources to maximize program impact and address housing and community development needs that cannot be met through CDBG funding alone.

During Program Year 2025, CDBG investments complemented a variety of locally administered housing and homelessness initiatives, allowing the City to expand services, preserve affordable housing, and strengthen community partnerships. By coordinating funding across multiple programs, the City maximized available resources.

Program income generated through the City's Revolving Loan Fund continued to provide an important source of local funding that supplemented the annual CDBG entitlement allocation. These additional resources increased the City's capacity to preserve affordable housing, support homeowner rehabilitation, and respond to evolving community needs without relying exclusively on annual federal appropriations.

The City also continued to leverage investments through partnerships with nonprofit organizations and affordable housing providers. Organizations receiving CDBG funding contributed additional financial resources, volunteer support, professional expertise, and community partnerships that significantly increased the overall impact of federal investments. These collaborative efforts enabled service providers to reach more residents, deliver higher-quality services, and strengthen long-term program outcomes.

Beyond CDBG, the City continued implementing complementary housing initiatives supported through other funding sources, including the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), local affordable housing resources, and other state and regional programs. These investments supported affordable housing, homelessness response, workforce housing, and housing assistance programs that collectively advanced the City's housing objectives.

The City's coordinated funding strategy reflects its commitment to integrating multiple funding sources into a comprehensive housing and community development framework. By leveraging federal resources with state, local, and private investments, the City is able to expand services, preserve affordable housing, promote housing stability, and improve the quality of life for low- and moderate-income residents throughout the community.

CR-20 - Affordable Housing 91.520(b)
Evaluation of the jurisdiction's progress in providing affordable housing, including the number and types of families served, the number of extremely low-income, low-income, moderate-income, and middle-income persons served.

The City of Milpitas continued to make meaningful progress toward preserving and improving affordable housing opportunities during PY 2025. Consistent with the priorities established in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, the City invested CDBG funds in activities designed to preserve existing affordable housing, improve housing conditions for low-income homeowners, and support long-term housing stability.

Recognizing that preserving affordable housing is often the most cost-effective strategy for maintaining the community’s affordable housing inventory, the City prioritized investments that protected both owner-occupied and affordable rental housing.

A significant accomplishment during the program year was the completion of major rehabilitation improvements at Terrace Gardens, a deed-restricted affordable senior housing community. CDBG funding supported roof replacement on Buildings A through D, preserving the long-term viability of 148 affordable housing units. These improvements enhanced resident safety, protected the buildings from future deterioration, and extended the useful life of one of the City's important affordable housing assets.

The City also partnered with Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley to provide emergency home rehabilitation services for income-qualified homeowners. Through this program, 14 owner-occupied homes received critical repairs that addressed health and safety deficiencies, improved accessibility for seniors and persons with disabilities, increased energy efficiency, and allowed residents to safely remain in their homes. Typical improvements included electrical and plumbing repairs, water heater replacement, accessibility modifications, and other emergency repairs that preserved the housing stock and reduced the likelihood of displacement.

Although the homeowner rehabilitation program did not fully achieve its projected annual rehabilitation goal, this shortfall resulted primarily from delays associated with execution of the PY 2025 HUD grant agreement, which shortened the available implementation period for construction activities. Despite these challenges, the completed rehabilitation projects addressed urgent housing needs and produced meaningful benefits for participating households. The City anticipates improving production levels during future program years as implementation timelines return to normal.

Collectively, affordable housing activities assisted 162 households during PY 2025. Overall, the City's affordable housing investments contributed directly to the preservation of existing affordable housing, improved housing quality, enhanced accessibility, and increased long-term housing stability for low- income residents. These accomplishments support the Consolidated Plan's objective of maintaining and preserving existing housing while maximizing the impact of limited federal resources.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

While the City anticipated completing additional rehabilitation projects during the program year, execution of the HUD grant agreement occurred later than expected, reducing the amount of time available to complete construction activities before the close of the reporting period. This delay affected project scheduling rather than program demand or contractor capacity.

Regardless, the City made substantial progress toward affordable housing goals established in the PY 2025 Annual Action Plan. A total of 162 households benefited from CDBG-funded affordable housing investments. The City will continue evaluating program performance annually and will refine performance targets to maximize the effectiveness of future CDBG investments.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

The accomplishments and lessons learned during PY 2025 will help inform future Annual Action Plans and funding decisions. Performance data collected through completed activities provides valuable information regarding community needs, program demand, and effective service delivery strategies.

CAPER 14
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Future funding priorities will continue emphasizing preservation of existing affordable housing and housing stability. The City will also continue monitoring performance outcomes to ensure federal resources remain aligned with HUD National Objectives and the priorities established in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan.

By incorporating program performance into future planning efforts, the City will continue strengthening its housing and community development programs while ensuring CDBG resources produce measurable and lasting benefits for low- and moderate-income residents. As housing costs continue to place increasing pressure on low- and moderate-income households, preserving existing affordable housing will remain one of the City’s highest priorities.

Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

Table 7 – Number of Households Served

Narrative Information
During Program Year 2025, affordable housing activities primarily benefited households with the greatest housing needs. Based on program income eligibility requirements, approximately 56 percent of households served were classified as extremely low-income, while the remaining 44 percent were low- income households.

These results demonstrate that the City's affordable housing investments continue to prioritize residents with the greatest economic need, consistent with HUD regulations and the objectives established in the Consolidated Plan. By directing resources toward households most vulnerable to housing instability, the City helps preserve affordable housing opportunities and promotes long-term residential stability for low-income families and seniors.

During Program Year (PY) 2025, the City of Milpitas continued to implement a coordinated strategy to identify, engage, and assist individuals experiencing homelessness through partnerships with Santa Clara County, nonprofit service providers, and regional Continuum of Care (CoC) agencies. Consistent with the priorities established in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, the City's efforts focused on connecting unsheltered individuals with housing resources, supportive services, and coordinated entry into the regional homeless response system.

Although Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds were not used directly to finance homeless outreach activities, CDBG investments complemented broader City initiatives by funding public service programs that promoted housing stability and assisted individuals and families at risk of homelessness. These coordinated efforts help reduce barriers to housing while improving access to critical community resources. Some of those resources include:

Homeless Outreach/Assessment and Mobile Hygiene Services To create a more coordinated and comprehensive approach to serving unhoused residents, the City combined homeless outreach, assessment, case management, and mobile hygiene services into a single competitive RFP. The combined service model provides a consistent point of contact for outreach and engagement while integrating basic hygiene services with housing navigation, assessment, referrals, and case management. This approach is intended to strengthen connections to housing and supportive services, improve service coordination, and provide the City with standardized data to inform future program planning and resource allocation. The City awarded WeHOPE a 5-year agreement with a not-to- exceed contract amount of $849,207. Under this agreement, WeHOPE will identify, assess, and refer unhoused residents to appropriate housing programs and services, while also providing timely data and long-term projections on the unhoused population. This approach will help the City maintain a strategic and standardized methodology for serving unhoused residents.

Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA)
In July 2023, the City received a signed Standard Agreement from HCD approving its 2019, 2020, and 2021 funding applications, totaling $1,017,554. These funds are designated for homeless outreach and the creation of a Workforce Housing Rental Assistance Program. This program offers rental subsidies to Milpitas residents and local workforce members earning at or below 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI), as defined by HCD as extremely low income. The City used its 2019–2021 PLHA allocation to fund one year of homeless outreach, the Workforce Housing Rental Assistance Program (WHRAP), and

CAPER 16
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
program administration. Through WHRAP, the City has provided rental assistance to extremely low- income Milpitas households. The first round provided 22 households earning at or below 30% of AMI with $645 per month for 24 months, beginning in August 2024. The second round began in May 2026 and provides 26 eligible Milpitas households earning at or below 30% of AMI with $706.60 per month for 24 months.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons During PY 2025, the City continued to address the needs of residents experiencing homelessness, housing instability, and domestic violence by supporting a coordinated network of emergency shelter, crisis intervention, outreach, and supportive services. Through partnerships with nonprofit organizations and connections to countywide resources, residents were able to access immediate assistance while also receiving support to help them work toward longer-term housing stability.

The City supported emergency shelter and crisis intervention services through partnerships with Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence and YWCA Silicon Valley. Next Door Solutions provided emergency shelter, case management, safety planning, and supportive services to individuals and families fleeing domestic violence. YWCA Silicon Valley similarly provided emergency shelter and comprehensive supportive services to help survivors establish safety, stabilize their living situations, and begin transitioning toward permanent housing.

In addition to emergency shelter services, the City partnered with WeHOPE to provide coordinated homeless outreach and assessment. Through direct engagement with individuals experiencing homelessness, WeHOPE provided on-site case management, assessed individual needs and barriers, and connected residents with appropriate shelter, housing, and supportive services. These outreach efforts helped ensure that individuals received assistance tailored to their circumstances while also providing the City with information on local needs, demographics, and service utilization. This information supports the City’s ongoing efforts to better understand homelessness in the community and identify opportunities to strengthen its response.

The City further connected residents to the broader regional homeless response system by promoting the Santa Clara County Here4You Hotline. The hotline serves as a centralized resource for adults, couples, and families seeking emergency shelter or temporary housing. Callers can receive information about available shelter options and assistance identifying programs that align with their needs and current capacity. Hotline staff may also coordinate transportation to shelter and provide referrals to other community resources, including homelessness prevention and rental assistance programs. The Here4You Hotline is available seven days a week, from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., at (408) 385-2400.

Together, these resources create multiple pathways for residents to access assistance based on their individual circumstances. The City’s partnerships with Next Door Solutions, YWCA Silicon Valley, and

Page 219 of 336 ends

CAPER 17
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
WeHOPE, combined with access to countywide resources such as the Here4You Hotline, strengthen the continuum of services available to residents in crisis. Through this coordinated approach, the City is able to respond to immediate safety and shelter needs while connecting individuals and families to case management, housing resources, and supportive services that promote greater stability and progress toward permanent housing.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The County CoC provides guidance and connections to resources for individuals transitioning from institutional settings, including access to reentry resource centers where individuals can be assessed for housing and supportive service needs. Assessments and coordinated entry processes help identify an individual’s level of vulnerability and connect them with appropriate resources, which may include residential or outpatient treatment, transitional housing, emergency shelter, and other supportive services. This coordinated approach helps ensure that individuals leaving institutional settings have access to services that can support a more stable transition back into the community.

Preventing homelessness more broadly remains a central component of the City’s housing and community development strategy. In addition to responding to immediate housing crises, the City invests in programs intended to address housing instability before it results in homelessness. During Program Year 2025, CDBG-funded activities supported legal assistance, fair housing counseling, nutrition services, accessibility improvements, independent living services, homeowner rehabilitation, and domestic violence services. Together, these activities addressed a range of financial, physical, and social factors that can place vulnerable households at risk of housing instability.

The City’s affordable housing preservation efforts further supported homelessness prevention by helping residents remain safely and stably housed. Through the rehabilitation of owner-occupied homes and preservation of affordable rental housing, the City helped address health, safety, accessibility, and deferred maintenance needs while reducing the financial burden that significant housing repairs can place on lower-income households. These investments not only preserve the existing affordable housing stock but also help prevent displacement and promote long-term housing stability.

The City also continued coordinating with Santa Clara County and local service providers to connect residents with additional resources, including rental assistance, behavioral health services, workforce development programs, and other supportive services designed to address the circumstances that may contribute to housing loss. Through these partnerships, the City seeks to provide residents with access to a broader network of resources beyond those directly funded through CDBG.

CAPER 18
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Collectively, these efforts demonstrate the City’s commitment to a prevention-oriented approach that addresses both immediate housing needs and the underlying factors that contribute to housing instability. By combining regional coordination, supportive services, housing preservation, and targeted assistance, the City continues working to prevent homelessness and promote long-term housing stability and self-sufficiency among low- and moderate-income residents.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City recognizes that ending homelessness requires more than providing emergency shelter.

Successful outcomes depend upon connecting individuals and families to permanent housing, supportive services, healthcare, employment opportunities, and community resources that promote long-term housing stability.

Throughout Program Year 2025, the City continued collaborating with Santa Clara County, nonprofit organizations, and affordable housing providers to support permanent housing solutions for individuals experiencing homelessness. Service providers receiving CDBG assistance coordinated closely with other community partners to ensure participants could access comprehensive services that addressed both immediate and long-term needs.

In addition to supportive services, the City's ongoing investment in affordable housing preservation contributes to the regional effort to expand housing opportunities available to extremely low-income households. Preserving existing affordable housing helps maintain the supply of housing available to vulnerable residents while reducing displacement pressures within the community.

The City will continue strengthening partnerships with regional housing providers, homeless service organizations, and public agencies to improve coordination, expand access to permanent housing opportunities, and support individuals transitioning from homelessness to stable, independent living.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City of Milpitas does not operate or oversee a Public Housing Authority (PHA); therefore, does not administer traditional public housing programs. Nevertheless, the City continues to support affordable housing opportunities through partnerships with affordable housing providers, Santa Clara County, nonprofit organizations, and other regional agencies that serve low- and moderate-income households.

During PY 2025, the City continued investing CDBG resources in activities that preserved affordable housing, improved housing conditions, and expanded access to supportive services for vulnerable residents. Although these investments were not directed to public housing developments, they complemented the region’s affordable housing network by helping preserve existing affordable units, improving housing quality, and reducing the risk of displacement among income-qualified households.

Milpitas is home to several affordable housing developments that serve households with limited incomes, including project-based Section 8 housing and permanent supportive housing developments.

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
Although the City does not administer a public housing program, it remains committed to expanding homeownership opportunities for income-qualified households through its Below Market Rate (BMR) Homeownership Program.

Throughout the program year, City staff continued partnering with HouseKeys to administer the BMR program. Information regarding available homes was distributed through the City’s website, the HouseKeys website, and community outreach efforts to ensure public awareness of affordable homeownership opportunities.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The City of Milpitas does not operate or oversee a PHA; therefore, no direct actions were required during the program year to address troubled PHA performance. However, the City continued pursuing complementary housing strategies designed to improve housing stability for low- and moderate-income households. These efforts included preservation of existing affordable housing, administration of the BMR Homeownership Program, support for affordable housing development, and coordination with regional housing partners to improve access to housing resources.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) Resolution No. 8523
The City adopted Resolution No. 8523, which recognizes homelessness as a crucial problem in the County and will help contribute to future affordable housing projects that will house the homeless.

Affordable Housing Ordinance 297
Affordable Housing Ordinance 297 requires residential development projects of 10 units or more that are designed and intended for permanent occupancy to provide 15 percent of the total dwelling units as affordable units.

Housing Opportunity Zone
The project will establish a new ‘overlay district’ within established critical priority areas of Milpitas and complete the associated California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis to accelerate housing production in the City. The Housing Opportunity Zone (HOZ) will provide objective standards and incentives to developers to encourage and support the development of by-right, affordable, and supportive housing projects, including housing for special-needs residents.

The project would streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production by providing clarity and certainty to developers to stimulate development in priority areas. Incentives to developers may include reduced parking requirements, additional density bonuses beyond the State Density Bonus, increased allowable heights, streamlined permitting processes, and fee waivers.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City contracted with WeHOPE to provide assessment services to the unhoused via case managers.

The case managers provide ongoing outreach and assessment services to the unhoused community in Milpitas.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The County of Santa Clara implements a Lead Safe Homes Program. The funded programs help the community identify lead-paint hazards through inspections and remove lead hazards caused by lead- paint in homes built before 1978 in Santa Clara County.

CAPER 21
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Additionally, Milpitas has adopted a Lead-Based Paint Management Plan which complies with HUD Lead- Based Paint regulations. In addition, the City publicizes and identifies lead-based hazards and older residential projects through its Code Enforcement Division and Building Department.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Through WHRAP, the City has provided rental assistance to extremely low-income Milpitas households.

The first round provided 22 households earning at or below 30% of AMI with $645 per month for 24 months, beginning in August 2024. The second round began in May 2026 and provides 26 eligible Milpitas households earning at or below 30% of AMI with $706.60 per month for 24 months.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City is striving to improve intergovernmental and private sector cooperation to synergize efforts and resources and develop new revenues for community service needs and the production of affordable housing. Continued collaborative efforts include:

Participating in regular quarterly meetings between entitlement jurisdictions at the CDBG Coordinators meeting;
Participating in the Regional Housing Working Group;
Coordinating joint jurisdiction Request for Proposals and project review committees; and Participating in Community Development Roundtable monthly meetings with the development communities.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City benefits from a strong jurisdiction and region-wide network of housing and community development partners, such as the County and the CoC. To improve intergovernmental and private sector cooperation, the City will continue to participate with other local jurisdictions and developers in sharing information and resources.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) During Program Year 2025, the City of Milpitas continued efforts to address barriers to housing access through education, counseling, outreach, and enforcement-related services. These efforts were implemented in coordination with Project Sentinel, the City’s contracted housing service provider.

With CDBG funding, Project Sentinel provided housing counseling, tenant-landlord counseling, dispute

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City of Milpitas is committed to administering its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program in accordance with all applicable federal regulations while maintaining a comprehensive monitoring system that promotes accountability, transparency, and effective stewardship of public funds. During PY 2025, the City continued implementing a monitoring program designed to ensure that all funded activities were carried out in compliance with HUD requirements, the terms of executed subrecipient agreements, and the objectives established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.

Each subrecipient entered into a written agreement that clearly defined the scope of work, performance measures, eligible activities, reporting requirements, financial management standards, records retention requirements, and all applicable federal compliance obligations. Agreements were reviewed to ensure consistency with HUD regulations and approved by the City Attorney prior to execution.

Throughout the program year, City staff conducted ongoing desk monitoring by reviewing quarterly performance reports, reimbursement requests, beneficiary documentation, financial records, supporting invoices, and other program records submitted by each subrecipient. Staff evaluated whether reported accomplishments were consistent with approved work plans and ensured that activities continued to meet applicable National Objectives and program requirements.

In addition to ongoing desk reviews, City staff conducted monitoring visits for all active subrecipients during PY 2025. Monitoring included reviews of program administration, financial management practices, procurement documentation where applicable, beneficiary eligibility, recordkeeping, performance reporting, and compliance with applicable federal requirements such as environmental compliance, Section 3, civil rights requirements, the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) and Davis- Bacon and related Acts. Monitoring activities were conducted both virtually and in person, depending upon the nature and complexity of each activity.

City staff also provided technical assistance throughout the program year to help subrecipients understand regulatory requirements, improve reporting practices, and resolve questions before they developed into compliance concerns. This collaborative approach promotes continuous improvement while helping ensure successful program implementation.

Following each monitoring review, City staff documented observations, discussed preliminary results with subrecipient representatives, and provided written follow-up summarizing the monitoring results.

When minor administrative issues were identified, staff worked collaboratively with the organization to provide guidance and ensure timely resolution. No monitoring findings or concerns requiring formal

CAPER 24
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
corrective action were identified during Program Year 2025.

The City's monitoring process also serves as an important program management tool. Information obtained through quarterly reporting, reimbursement reviews, and monitoring visits is used to evaluate organizational capacity, identify implementation challenges, improve future funding decisions, and strengthen long-term program performance. Lessons learned through monitoring are incorporated into technical assistance efforts and future subrecipient training to promote consistent compliance across all CDBG-funded activities.

In addition to subrecipient monitoring, City staff maintained oversight of internal program administration by reviewing expenditure rates, monitoring timeliness, tracking project implementation schedules, and evaluating progress toward Annual Action Plan goals. These internal management practices support responsible financial stewardship and help ensure that CDBG resources are expended efficiently while maximizing community benefit.

Through this comprehensive monitoring framework, the City continues to maintain a high level of accountability, protect the integrity of the CDBG Program, and ensure that federal investments produce measurable and lasting benefits for the residents of Milpitas.

Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports.

The City of Milpitas remains committed to promoting transparency and meaningful public participation in the administration of its CDBG Program. Consistent with the City's adopted Citizen Participation Plan and the requirements of 24 CFR Part 91, residents were provided the opportunity to review and comment on the draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) prior to its submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The draft PY 2025 CAPER was made available for public review for a minimum 15-day comment period.

Copies of the document were posted on the City's website and made available at City Hall and the Milpitas Library to ensure convenient public access. Upon request, electronic copies were also provided to interested individuals and organizations.

The public comment period will be from August 21 through September 11, 2026.

To encourage participation from Milpitas' diverse community, the public notice announcing the availability of the draft CAPER was translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Simplified Chinese.

These outreach efforts supported meaningful participation by residents with limited English proficiency and reinforced the City's commitment to equitable public engagement.

A public hearing will be conducted before the City Council to receive comments regarding the City's accomplishments during PY 2025 and the proposed CAPER submission. Public comments are being

CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences.

During the program year, the City of Milpitas continued implementing the priorities and objectives established in the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and PY 2025 Annual Action Plan. The City's overall CDBG program objectives remained focused on preserving affordable housing, providing supportive and community services, addressing homelessness and housing instability, supporting economic development, and ensuring effective program administration.

During the reporting period, however, the City continued to experience challenges related to the timely expenditure of CDBG funds. The City remained above HUD's required timeliness standard and therefore continued evaluating program implementation practices and expenditure schedules to identify opportunities to accelerate the use of available resources.

Several factors affected expenditure rates, including delays associated with execution of the PY 2025 HUD Grant Agreement and the resulting compressed implementation period. These circumstances affected the timing of subrecipient agreements, project implementation, reimbursement processing, and construction activities. In addition, the availability of prior-year resources and significant program income increased the amount of CDBG funding available for expenditure and contributed to the City’s elevated line-of-credit balance.

In response, the City conducted a comprehensive review of its CDBG portfolio and developed a Timeliness Workout Plan identifying specific actions to improve expenditure performance and restore compliance with HUD's timeliness requirements. The Workout Plan established a framework for more actively managing project schedules, expenditures, and available funding while maintaining compliance with federal program requirements.

While the City had not returned to compliance with HUD's timeliness standard by the end of the reporting period, substantial progress was made in advancing funded activities and reducing outstanding CDBG balances. The City's experience during PY 2025 reinforced the importance of aligning project readiness, funding commitments, expenditure projections, and implementation schedules when developing future Annual Action Plans.

Moving forward, the City will continue implementing the new Timeliness Workout Plan and evaluating the performance of its CDBG portfolio.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Receive a Presentation on the Red Light Camera Traffic Safety Program and Authorize the City Manager, or Designee, to Negotiate and Execute a Three- Year Agreement with Verra Mobility for Red Light Camera Equipment and Services (Staff Contact: Jared Hernandez, Chief of Police, 408-586-2406) Category: Public Safety
Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
Recommendation: (1) Receive a presentation on the Red Light Camera Traffic Safety Program; and (2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate and execute an agreement for red light camera equipment and services with Verra Mobility for a three-year term in an amount not-to-exceed $500,000 annually and a total of $1,500,000 for the term of the agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Milpitas serves as a major thoroughfare for commuters with direct access to Interstate 680, Interstate 880, and Highway 237, resulting in a high volume of daily vehicular traffic. The significant volume of traffic contributes to safety concerns at several signalized intersections where red light violations increase the risk of collisions ranging from minor fender benders to serious collisions, including incidents involving bicyclists or pedestrians.

According to 2023 data from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), Milpitas recorded 212 fatal and injury crashes. Internal department accident data for 2023 reflects an additional 44 collisions, that were not recorded by OTS, bringing the total fatal and injury crashes for the City of Milpitas to 256.

Police Department staff reviewed internal statistics from 2023-2026 (YTD) to identify intersections within Milpitas with the highest number of collisions. The data reflected the following four locations with the highest number of collisions:

• Great Mall Parkway, between Abel Street and McCandless Drive • Calaveras Boulevard, between Abbott Avenue and Hillview Drive • North McCarthy Boulevard/Ranch Drive
• North Milpitas Boulevard/Dixon Road

These four locations were also identified by Verra Mobility as candidates for camera installation.

Traffic safety remains a top public safety priority for the Milpitas Police Department. However, due to ongoing staffing challenges in the Department, the number of dedicated traffic safety officers has been reduced over time. Therefore, the Police Department recommends implementing a red light camera traffic safety program through an agreement with Verra Mobility.

ANALYSIS:

Due to limited staffing in the Police Department, particularly in the reduction of the Traffic Safety Unit to three motor officers, it is challenging for the Department to consistently enforce traffic laws at the many intersections across the City. The mere presence of red light safety cameras and prominent signage often deters potential traffic violations, which in turn can help reduce public safety risks. Issuing citations further reduces the likelihood of drivers committing repeat traffic offenses.

Page 233 of 336 ends

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the introduction of red light cameras in Oxnard, California, led to a 29% reduction in injury collisions at signalized intersections. Additionally, the IIHS reported that large cities with red light enforcement programs experienced a 21% decrease in fatal collisions caused by red light running.

Verra Mobility offers a red light safety camera system that is currently implemented by over 25 California agencies, including nearby jurisdictions such as Fremont, Newark, Tracy, and San Jose.

The red light camera system equipment activates when a vehicle approaches and enters the intersection against a red light and captures multiple images of an alleged violation from the rear and front of the vehicle.

The captured data is encrypted and securely sent to Verra Mobility for initial processing where potential violations are reviewed to ensure compliance with the Milpitas Police Department’s established criteria. Verra Mobility then obtains the registered owner information from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to assist in identifying the driver before the citation package is forwarded to the Milpitas Police Department for final review and approval.

Upon receipt, an officer or authorized department personnel member reviews the citation package to verify the violation occurred and confirms the identity of the driver. If a violation occurred, a citation is issued by mail, along with instructions on how the recipient can resolve the citation. If the citation is contested, the reviewer may be required to appear in court or submit a written declaration.

Verra Mobility offers a comprehensive “end-to-end” program that covers the intersection surveys, equipment, installation, programming, maintenance, and traffic court support with no upfront cost to the City. Verra Mobility is paid a flat monthly fee for each camera-monitored approach, currently estimated at $5,250 per approach per month; the fee is not based on the number of citations issued or on a percentage of fine revenue, as required by California Vehicle Code Section 21455.5. The total fine for a red light violation is approximately $450 to $500, of which the City receives approximately $125 after State and County distributions. Based on that share, each camera needs to generate approximately two paid citations per day to cover its monthly fee. The agreement will include a cost-neutrality provision: if net citation revenue in a month is insufficient to cover the monthly fee, the unpaid balance is deferred to a subsequent billing cycle and is payable only from future net revenue, so the program does not draw on the General Fund. Any revenue above program costs is deposited in the General Fund. Any request to add staff to administer the program would be brought to the City Council separately.

Based on information provided by the Milpitas Police Department, Verra Mobility conducted a survey of 28 intersections for potential deployment in the City of Milpitas. Utilizing a program that analyzes traffic conditions, signal light placement, traffic volume, and other factors, Verra Mobility was able to predict current daily violations, daily violations after 12-18 months of program implementation, monthly violations after 12-18 months of program implementation, Verra Mobility monthly fees, and cost savings.

Staff proposes the approval of 28 camera-monitored approaches with an initial deployment of 7 camera- monitored approaches at 7 intersections. The survey projects an approximate monthly revenue of$112,500 per month across these approaches once the program matures, against a combined monthly operating cost of approximately $36,750. The $500,000 annual not-to-exceed amount is based on 7 initial approaches at the estimated monthly fee, with an allowance for additional unanticipated expenses. A summary of the survey results is provided as Attachment 1.

Pursuant to Milpitas Municipal Code Sections I-2-3.03 and I-2-3.06, the City may enter into purchases without further competitive procurement when the Purchasing Agent determines in writing, after conducting a good faith review of available sources, that only one viable source exists for the required supplies, material, equipment, or general service, or that there is a compelling reason for using only one source. At this time, Verra Mobility is the only vendor for the Red Light Camera Program Equipment and Services that integrates and is operational with the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara’s traffic court system. As a result, implementation would not require the City to develop a custom integration or coordinate with the Court to establish system interoperability. The Purchasing Agent made the sole source determination in writing on September 9, 2026; the determination is retained in the contract file.

Before citations are issued, the City will publicly announce the program and issue warning notices only for at least 30 days, post signs at each camera location, and retain final review of every citation by Milpitas Police Department personnel, as required by Vehicle Code Section 21455.5.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not implement a red light camera program and continue enforcement with existing Traffic Safety Unit staffing.

Pros: No contractual commitment; no public concern about automated enforcement.

Cons: Three motor officers cannot provide consistent enforcement at the highest-collision intersections; collision risk remains unaddressed.

Reason for Not Recommending: The Department does not have adequate staffing to address the identified intersections through in-person enforcement.

Alternative 2: Conduct a competitive solicitation for red light camera services.

Pros: Tests the market on price and terms.

Cons: No other vendor currently integrates with the Santa Clara County Superior Court traffic system, so a competitive award would require the City to negotiate, fund and manage a custom integration with the court.

Reason for Not Recommending: The court integration requirement makes Verra Mobility the only viable source at this time.

PROJECT SCHEDULE/KEY MILESTONES
Council authorization of agreement: September 15, 2026
Agreement execution: November 2026
City Managed Intersections – Install and Testing: 3 to 4 months after agreement execution Caltrans Intersections - Install and Testing: 6 to 8 months after agreement execution Public announcement and 30-day warning period: February to July of 2027 Citation issuance estimated: no later than July 2027

FISCAL IMPACT:

No expenditure or revenue is expected in FY2026-27 because citation issuance is not expected to begin before July 2027. Beginning in FY2027-28, staff estimates annual program fees of approximately $441,000 and annual net citation revenue to the City of approximately $1,350,000 based on the Verra Mobility survey.

Under the cost-neutrality provision, fees are payable only from net citation revenue. Program revenue and expenditures for FY2027-28 and subsequent years will be included in the Police Department's operating budget request, subject to appropriation by the City Council through the annual budget adoption process.

Staff time for citation review and court appearances will be absorbed within the Department's existing budget during initial implementation. If citation volume requires dedicated staffing, the Department will request a position through the annual budget process, and the cost will be treated as a program operating cost recovered from net citation revenue, subject to appropriation by the City Council.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Receive a Presentation on the Condition of the Milpitas Community Center and Provide Direction (Staff Contact: Christian Di Renzo, Public Works Director, 408- 586-2602; and Michael Silveira, City Engineer, 408-586-3303) Category: Community Services and Sustainable Infrastructure Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
Recommendation: Receive a presentation on the condition of the Milpitas Community Center and provide direction to proceed with the improvement or replacement option.

BACKGROUND:

The 17,000 square foot Milpitas Community Center (Community Center) opened in 1982 as the central hub for community life in the City and serves as headquarters for the Recreation and Community Services (RCS) Department. Its primary purpose is to provide programs and services that enrich the community, promote health and wellness, foster cultural awareness, and host events to bring the community together. The building includes an auditorium with a stage and kitchen for events and banquets, staff offices, classrooms for preschool and program activities, and meeting rooms. In addition, like all City recreation sites, the Community Center is designated as a Warming and Cooling Center during periods of extreme weather.

The Milpitas Sports Center is the City’s designated shelter site.

Over the years, the Community Center has required extensive maintenance and repairs to several components, including the ceiling, flooring, mechanical systems, and roof. Facility maintenance has historically been reactive and service-request driven rather than preventive; staff recently established monthly preventive maintenance for the roof and gutters. In 2023, staff repaired a major ceiling failure and subsequently consulted with the City’s on-call roofing vendor, Tremco, to inspect the condition of the roof. Tremco identified several deficiencies including: several repairs to address leaks; evidence of water pooling and structural wood framing deterioration in several areas; inadequate waterproofing for supports; widespread micro fractures in the roof’s membrane; and congestion of mechanical equipment. Tremco concluded that the protective membrane has exceeded its 25-year service life and requires complete replacement. They also noted that all mechanical equipment would have to be removed to complete this work, and the equipment’s support bracing should be properly attached to the roof and waterproofed.

As part of the adopted FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved the Community Center Roof Renovation Project, CIP No. 3485 (Project) with a funding allocation of $500,000 from the General Government CIP Fund to perform an assessment of the existing roof, mechanical systems, kitchen, and accessibility, and develop conceptual plans and cost estimates to program and prioritize necessary improvements of essential components to maintain the longevity of the 44-year-old building. Staff selected Aetypic, Inc. (AET) through a Request for Proposals process in accordance with Milpitas Municipal Code Sections I-2-3.09, Request for Proposals Procedure, and I-2-3.13, Contracting for Consultants. On June 3, 2025, the City Council approved a Design Services Agreement with AET in the amount of $237,716 to perform this work.

In March 2026, staff repaired another ceiling failure in the restroom, which prompted staff to debrief City Council on the roof’s condition and the necessary improvements. During the adoption of the FY2026-27 Operating Budget on June 9, 2026, the City Council approved allocating an additional $370,000 in funding from the General Fund to the Project to advance the design of the full roof replacement. In addition, staff committed to bring a presentation to City Council in September to further discuss the Project.

ANALYSIS:

AET completed the condition assessment of the existing roof, mechanical systems, kitchen, and accessibility and developed recommended improvements for staff to program and prioritize over the next several years.

Page 258 of 336 ends

Based on AET’s analysis, the Community Center’s essential components, such as the roof and HVAC system, are in poor condition and require immediate attention to keep the building operational. The following sections summarize the condition assessment, estimated cost of recommended improvements, operation impacts, funding analysis and strategies, and staff recommendation for City Council consideration. The analysis is based on the best information available to staff and may change as the Project advances through the design and permitting phases.

Roof System: The Community Center has two types of roof systems: (1) a flat roof system (16,000 square feet) which consists of a protective PVC membrane, installed in the mid-1990s, on top of the original membrane and is enclosed by a 6-foot-high parapet wall; and (2) a gable roof system (4,000 square feet) which consists of the original clay tiles placed on steep-slope cover board with a water proofing barrier that attaches to the parapet wall. The assessment identified the following concerns and deficiencies that are susceptible to water intrusion into the roof and wall assemblies.

• Flat roof system: is in poor condition as the PVC membrane is experiencing widespread micro fractures; water pooling is occurring due to improper roof sloping for drainage likely caused by material degradation; the supports for mechanical equipment and parapet wall are improperly waterproofed; and it is heavily congested with mechanical equipment.
• Gable roof system: is in poor condition as there are missing and broken clay tiles leading to the water proofing barrier deteriorating due to weathering. The barrier has become dry and brittle and has lost its effectiveness to protect the roof and wall assembly from the weather. • Parapet wall: shows evidence of deterioration, including wood rot and peeling paint. It is susceptible to water intrusion due to a lack of protective metal flashing along the top edge of the wall, and the PVC membrane was improperly installed over the metal flashing at the bottom of the wall. • Interior ceiling: is showing widespread evidence of water intrusion from the roof due to evidence of water stains on the acoustical tile ceiling and light fixtures, and ceiling failures that have occurred over the past years.

AET concludes that the flat roof system has reached its 25-year service life and is no longer suitable for continued spot repairs. Because the facility has experienced recurring maintenance and repair efforts due to water intrusion, portions of the wood structural components have likely deteriorated as well. AET recommends replacing the roof down to the plywood decking with a thermoplastic polyolefin material; replacing damaged framing; correcting the roof slope to eliminate any water pooling; waterproofing all mechanical equipment and parapet wall supports attached to the roof; improving the parapet wall system by replacing deteriorating framing, installing proper metal flashing along the top and bottom of the wall, repairing siding failures, and applying thick film elastomeric paint above the roof line. AET also concludes that the gable roof system’s waterproofing barrier and clay tiles should be replaced as they have reached their service life of 25 years. The barrier should be replaced with high-vapor-permeability synthetic material to align with the clay tile life expectancy.

Mechanical System: HVAC units with associated ductwork, natural gas distribution piping, and telecommunication conduits are the primary equipment attached above the roof, which is common in these types of buildings. All existing equipment must be removed to allow contractors to properly correct all deficiencies and install a new roof system. Therefore, AET conducted a thorough condition, operation serviceability, and capacity adequacy assessment of the HVAC, gas, and electrical systems to determine the level of upgrades needed to continue operating the Community Center.

The existing HVAC system consists of eight (8) single-zone rooftop air conditioning (AC) units connected to outdoor ductwork. The units are electrically powered, with heating supplied by natural gas furnaces served by a rooftop gas distribution network. Seven of the eight AC units were replaced in 2011, however, one unit and most of the ductwork has been in service since 1982. AET identified significant deficiencies in the system, including malfunctioning components; inadequate mounting and supports of the AC units, ductwork, and natural gas distribution piping that do not meet current industry standards for maintenance and seismic requirements; the ductwork is dented, leaking, and the paint is peeling; and airflow is inconsistent during peak seasonal conditions, causing occupant discomfort. As the HVAC equipment has reached its expected service life of 15 years, AET recommends the entire system be replaced and

Page 259 of 336 ends

upgraded to meet the requirements of building codes, and integrate a modern digital control system to better control airflow temperature and manage energy throughout the building.

The electrical system consists of a 1,200-ampere (A) main switchboard that accommodates the backup emergency generator to ensure continuous operation during outages; solar photovoltaic systems to diversify the power supply which is connected to the micro grid system; and distributes power to six panelboards serving specific areas and loads. The HVAC system has a dedicated panelboard (AC2) with a capacity of 400A to manage power distribution for seven AC units to ensure efficient and reliable operation.

Because of the panelboard size, one AC unit is powered directly from the main switchboard.

Since the HVAC system will be upgraded, the existing main switchboard and panelboard AC2 cannot support the new electrical loads. AET recommends increasing the main switchboard capacity from 1200A to 1600A and panelboard AC2 from 400A to 700A. The increase in capacity will require PG&E’s transformer serving the facility to be upgraded to 750KVA. In addition, AET recommends replacing the remaining five panelboards with the same capacity, as they have surpassed their expected service life of 30 years and their original manufacturer is no longer in operation.

Accessibility: The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) fundamentally transformed how buildings are designed, constructed, and altered. It established standards and specifications for accessibility related to, but not limited to, entrances, pathways, restrooms, parking, and kitchens, recreation, and work areas that apply to newly constructed buildings, alterations, and certain existing facilities. Unfortunately, the Community Center was constructed prior to the enactment of the ADA and was not designed with accessibility in mind. AET found numerous areas that do not comply with current accessibility standards, including, but not limited to, accessible parking spaces, doors, entryways, electrical receptacles and switches, kitchen, pathways, the auditorium performance and stage areas, restrooms, service counters, signage, sinks, and workspace area. Staff recommends programming these improvements to bring the facility into compliance with current ADA and California building code regulations.

Kitchen: The kitchen appliances and cabinetry are outdated and do not meet the operational needs of the Community Center. As it is used by the public for events and banquets, several components such as the sinks, counters, and equipment no longer comply with requirements of California’s building codes and health and safety code. AET recommends renovating the kitchen to improve functionality and comply with applicable building, accessibility, health, and fire codes to allow the public to continue the use of the kitchen.

Exterior Building Improvements: The exterior of the building was last painted in 2000. Industry standard practice recommends repainting exterior building surfaces every 7 to 10 years to protect the building envelope from weathering, sunlight, and moisture intrusion, which extends the service life of exterior materials and reduces future maintenance efforts and costs. AET observed minor cracking of the stucco throughout the building and recommends repairing the cracks and repainting the exterior of the building.

Estimated Improvement Costs

AET provided probable cost estimates for improvements intended to maintain the Community Center in good working order for years to come. Because the General Fund is limited and is the primary funding source for maintenance and improvements to City facilities, staff recommends prioritizing improvements based on immediate and necessary needs, assuming they will have to be funded over several years due to funding limitations. The following is the scope of work, anticipated design and construction schedule, and probable cost estimates for the two-project approach.

Project 1 - Immediate Improvements: This project focuses on replacing the flat and gable roof systems and upgrading the HVAC and electrical systems. The scope of work includes, but is not limited to, replacing the flat roof to the plywood decking with thermoplastic polyolefin membrane; repairing the roof decking, parapet wall, and roof drainage system; reinforcing the structural framing for mechanical equipment; upgrading the HVAC and electrical system; and replacing telecommunication conduits.

Page 260 of 336 ends

The duration of the design, permitting, and bidding phase is approximately 12 months and construction anticipated to be completed within 15 months. Staff aims to start construction by spring 2028, but this is subject to change based on material lead times, PG&E’s schedule to upgrade the transformer, and the relocation of staff, programs, and services. The estimated project cost, including administration, design, and construction, is $7.4 million.

In the meantime, staff are exploring temporary repairs by applying roof foaming with a silicone coating on the flat roof, repairing the gable roof, and improving the drain inlets to ensure positive drainage.

These repairs are intended as a temporary measure and are expected to reduce the potential for roof leaks for about two years, until the start of construction. The estimated cost for the repairs is $1 million, which will be funded by the General Government CIP Fund and/or the General Fund-Facility Replacement Reserve.

Construction Costs
Roof Replacement $1,520,000
HVAC Replacement $1,700,000
Electrical Upgrades $790,000
Construction Contingency (15%) $601,000
Unanticipated Hazard Mitigation (5%)* $201,000

2-year Cost Escalation (3% annually) $361,000
Temporary Repairs $1,000,000
Probable Project Cost $7,376,000
Given the age and condition of the building, hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead-based paint and moisture due to ongoing water intrusion may be encountered during construction. The extent of abatement or remediation will not be known until the demolition phase begins. A 5% contingency is included in the estimate to address these potential conditions if encountered.

Project 2 - Necessary Improvements: This project focuses on improving the building’s accessibility to comply with current ADA and California building code regulations; stucco repair and painting of the exterior building; and renovating the kitchen for continued public use. The duration of the design, permitting, and bidding phase is approximately 12 months and the construction anticipated to be completed within 18 months. The estimated project cost, including administration, design, and construction, is $1.4 million. This project will start when funding becomes available.

Recreation and Community Services Department Operation Impacts The Community Center will have to be closed for a minimum of 15 months to complete the immediate improvements (Project 1), impacting the programs, services, staff, and revenue generated by rentals. Eight (8) full-time and 15 part-time employees working in the Community Center, along with various programs such as Pre-K enrichment program, youth camps, community theatre, and year-round classes, will have to be temporarily relocated or canceled during the closure. Special events held at the site such as Tree Lighting, Lantern Festival and Lunar New Year would need to be relocated and/or reimagined with limited/smaller capacities.

As space is limited throughout City facilities, staff is evaluating potential facilities to determine the most viable and cost-effective relocation option. Other potential relocation options are leasing space or partnering with other organizations such as Milpitas Unified School District (MUSD) and County of Santa Clara. At this time, Sal Cracolice Recreational Facility is a leading option for relocating staff. Using this facility would avoid leasing costs, but would prevent the City’s ability to host rentals, classes, and programs, resulting in revenue losses to the General Fund.

A major impact due to the closure will be the loss of revenue generated from services and rentals (e.g., Auditorium and rooms) at the Community Center. Currently, the site programming generates approximately $400,000 annually, where approximately $260,000 is from facility rentals, which will surely be lost due to the closure. If programs and services cannot be relocated, the total potential revenue loss could be approximately $400,000, which will impact the General Fund. The extent of the relocation effort will have to be further explored to determine appropriate relocation and actual revenue loss.

Funding Strategies

As mentioned above, facility improvements are typically funded through the General Fund, either directly or through fund balances such as General Government CIP Fund or General Fund – Facility Replacement Reserve. The project budget currently has $620,000 available to complete the design phase for immediate improvement (Project 1) only. Approximately $3.1 million is also available in the General Fund - Facility Replacement Reserve to fund a portion of construction administration and improvements. This would leave a shortfall of approximately $3.7 million to complete Project 1 and $5.0 million to complete both Project 1 and 2.

Additionally, staff also reviewed Capital Improvement Projects currently funded by the General Fund and identified the following workplans or projects that could potentially be deferred and reallocated to fund this Project.

Approved Workplan Potential Deferred
Funding Amount
Community Center Auditorium Floor Repair (3406) $100,000 City Hall- HR Office Reconfiguration (3406) $115,000

As Project 1 is anticipated to start construction in spring 2028, staff recommends the City Council not reallocate any funding from these workplans and projects until the FY2027-28 budget discussions commence.

Staff will bring this Project for discussion during the Capital Improvement Program study session in February 2027 when the General Fund balances are available for the upcoming fiscal year.

The City will need to invest approximately $8.7 million in immediate and necessary improvements over the next several years to ensure the building can continue serving the community for years to come. However, we should not lose sight that the building is reaching its expected service life of 50 years and will require extensive time and resources to maintain, replace, or upgrade other critical components such as flooring, windows, and gas and fire alarm equipment, to name a few. Continued annual investment in maintenance and improvements could extend the useful life of the facility; however, the building will have to be replaced at some point.

When the Community Center opened in 1982, Milpitas’ population was approximately 39,000, and it now stands at approximately 79,000, doubling in 44 years. As Milpitas’ population is anticipated to increase to 125,000 by 2050, the current size and operations of the Community Center will most likely be inadequate to meet the demands of a larger community. Although the primary discussion is focused on addressing immediate and necessary needs, City Council may want to consider investing in a new Community Center that could better serve future generations. Staff worked with AET to develop the following two high-level replacement options for City Council’s consideration and discussion:

• Replacement-In-Kind Option: This option assumes the new building will be 17,000 square feet, one single story, and located at the current location. The new facility would maintain the current RCS operation, programs, and services. The planning and design phase is anticipated to take approximately 24 months, and construction is anticipated to be completed within 24 months. The estimated project cost, including administration, design, and construction, is $23 million, which also includes the renovation of the landscape areas and water fountain at the City Hall campus. The estimated cost to renovate the water fountain is between $1.3 to $1.7 million which includes repairing, waterproofing, and resurfacing the fountain and replacing the associated pump system.

• Replacement-Expansion Option: Staff reviewed community centers in Cupertino, Dublin, Mountain View, and Redwood City, which were the benchmark cities used during the development of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. These cities offer their communities a wide range of programs and services, and their buildings range from 20,000 to 45,000 square feet. A comprehensive programming and needs assessment will be required to determine the appropriate building size, amenities, and space allocation. For planning purposes, this replacement option assumes the new building will be a 40,000-square-foot, two-story building located at the same location. A larger facility could provide an opportunity for RCS to expand rental and community meeting space, programs, and services to better serve the community and generate more revenue for the City. The planning and design phase is anticipated to take approximately 24 to 30 months, with construction anticipated to be completed within 36 months. The estimated project cost, including administration, design, and construction, is $60 million, which will include the renovation of the landscape areas and water fountain at City Hall campus.

The replacement options will have a more extensive impact on RCS Department operation than the improvements approach because the planning, design, and construction timeframe will be substantially longer.

Staff and programs would need to be temporarily relocated for 24 to 36 months, and the estimated revenue loss is $400,000 annually. A replacement project would require a separate financing strategy, potentially by issuing a general obligation bond (requiring two-thirds voter approval) or lease revenue bond, similar to the financing approach (lease revenue bond) City Council approved for the replacement of Fire Station No. 2 in October 2020.

If the City Council elects to proceed with the replacement rather than renovation, staff will continue to explore temporary repairs for the flat and gable roofs and improve the drain inlets to ensure positive drainage. At the same time, staff will work with the consultant to begin programming and a needs assessment to determine the appropriate building size, amenities, and space allocation. Upon completion, staff would return to City Council with proposed conceptual designs; additional details regarding the relocation of staff, programs, and services; potential revenue impacts; and financing options for City Council consideration.

Page 263 of 336 ends

In summary, AET’s condition assessment identifies several concerns and deficiencies with the Community Center that require immediate attention, particularly the deteriorated flat and gable roof systems and HVAC system. The City will need to invest approximately $8.7 million in immediate, necessary improvements over the next few years to ensure the building continues to serve the community for years to come. As funding will be needed for the ongoing maintenance and improvements of this 44-year-old building, City Council should consider investing in a new Community Center that could better serve the community for future generations.

Staff is hereby requesting that the City Council provide direction on whether to proceed with the immediate and necessary improvements needed to maintain the current operations of the Community Center or proceed with planning for replacement of the Community Center.

POLICY ALTERNATIVES:

Alternative 1: Do not provide direction to staff to proceed with either the improvement or replacement of the Milpitas Community Center.

Pros: None

Cons: Given the poor condition of the roof systems, the building will continue to experience water intrusion that could result in another ceiling failure, potentially placing occupants at risk of injury and increasing the City’s liability.

Reason for Not Recommending: Deferring the immediate improvements could lead the City to close the building during the winter to protect the public and staff from water intrusion incidents, which will result in unplanned revenue loss and cease the operation of the RCS Department at that site with no notice to customers.

PROJECT SCHEDULE/KEY MILESTONES
Upon receiving City Council’s direction, staff will either negotiate an amendment to AET’s contract for the necessary improvements or issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to obtain a consultant for design of the replacement of the Community Center. In either case, an agreement will be brought for Council approval at a future meeting. The improvement project is targeted to start construction in spring 2028, while the replacement project is targeted to start construction in 2029, subject to securing funding.

FISCAL IMPACT:

As of September 15, 2026, available funding for the Community Center Roof Renovation Project, CIP No. 3485 (“Project”), is $620,000, funded by the General Government CIP Fund. Sufficient funding is available in the Project budget to complete the design phase for immediate improvements (Project 1) only. Approximately $3.1 million in funding is available in the General Fund - Facility Replacement Reserve that can fund a portion of the construction administration and improvements. This leaves a shortfall of approximately $3.7 million to complete the immediate improvements and $5.0 million to complete both immediate and necessary improvements. As the project is anticipated to start construction in spring 2028, staff will present funding recommendations during the Capital Improvement Program study session next February when the General Fund balances are available for the upcoming fiscal year.

If the City Council elects to proceed with the replacement rather than improve the Community Center, the replacement project will have to be financed through some mechanism. Upon the completion of the programming and needs assessment of the new building, staff would return to the City Council with a financing strategy.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

This item is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline 15378(b).

Environmental review and analysis will be conducted in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the selected improvement option.

The scope of the environmental review, technical studies, and the appropriate CEQA determination will depend on the alternative selected by the City Council.

1 Executive Summary

1.1 Introduction
Representatives of the City of Milpitas requested the services of AET to prepare a Condition Assessment Report (CAR) of the existing roof, mechanical systems, kitchen, and accessibility for the Milpitas Community Center. The purpose of the CAR is to provide an objective, independent, professional opinion of pre-defined items for the existing building. The results presented in the CAR are intended to assist the City with planning and scope definition for the next phase of the project.

1.2 Facility Function
The Milpitas Community Center was constructed in 1983 and serves as a multifunctional facility hosting community events, an auditorium, offices for the Recreation and Community Service Department, classrooms, and pre-school activities. The facility is approximately 16,362 square feet in area and is 100% utilized.

1.3 Field Investigation
The Design Team (Team) members visited the site on September 16, 2025 to conduct the field investigation. All roof levels were accessed. Interior spaces were also observed such as the kitchen and restrooms.

The Team requested the City to identify a person, or persons, knowledgeable of the physical characteristics, maintenance, and repair of the property. The Team interviewed building representatives during the site visit to inquire about the building’s historical repairs and replacements, level of preventive maintenance, pending repairs and improvements, and frequency of repairs and replacements related to the building’s physical condition.

2 Project Description

2.1 Current Condition
The building has experienced recurring rainwater intrusion, leading to frequent repairs and potential long- term structural damage. Roof leaks have been observed throughout the facility, resulting in issues ranging from minor ceiling tile stains and light fixture discoloration to significant damage on finished ceilings. The cause of these problems possibly include water ponding on the roof and non-functioning roof drains.

The existing HVAC system on the roof is cluttered with ductwork that is non-compliant and leaking.

Additionally, the communication, electrical and gas conduits are exposed to the elements and are either attached to or resting directly on the roof membrane. Extensive improvements to the communication, electrical, gas, HVAC and plumbing systems are anticipated prior to roof restoration. Although the HVAC system was replaced in 2012, many of its components are in poor condition, necessitating replacement.

2.2 Scope of Work
The initial phase of the project includes site investigations and the CAR. The results presented in this CAR are intended to assist with planning, scope definition, and value engineering purposes for the City.

This Report will provide the City with the information of the extent of the work required.

2.3 Objective
After the completion of the CAR, the Design Team will begin development of the design and construction drawings for permit submittal. This work will include:
• Removal of the existing HVAC system
• Replacement of both the low-slope and steep-slope roof systems to the roof sheathing • Installation of new roof drainage, insulation, and roofing systems, and all associated work • Redesigning the alignment of ductwork, electrical, telecommunication lines and gas pipes • Upgrading of the HVAC and electrical systems to comply with current building codes • Installation of new sheet metal flashings
• Replacement of damaged parapet wall siding, and paint • Repair and/or replacement of any damaged roofing structure as needed • Interior building repair and replacement work
• Kitchen remodel
• Accessibility improvements

3 Assessment and Recommendations

3.1 Architectural

3.1.1 Overview
AET reviewed the records and documents provided to specifically identify, or assist in the identification of physical deficiencies, as well as any preceding or ongoing efforts to investigate or remediate the physical deficiencies. A Roof Analysis Report was prepared by Tremco, Inc. dated 8/28/2023.

This CAR is based on observations made during the site investigation. Observations were limited to accessible areas of the roof and interior spaces. No inspection or investigation in generally inaccessible areas were performed.

The condition of building structures and components evaluated were broken down into one of the following descriptions:

Excellent: New or like new.

Good: No major signs of age or wear, may need replacement.

Fair: Serviceable, showing age and wear, and will require maintenance, repair or replacement.

Poor: Requiring action immediately or within 12 months.

3.1.2 Assessment

3.1.2.1 Flat Roof
Type: Mechanically fastened 60 mil PVC membrane was installed over the original 4- ply- built up roof in the mid-1990s. It is approximately 16,000 square feet.

Page 273 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 9 ends

Evidence of water ponding and improper sloping for drainage was observed.

The roof membrane is deteriorating, and patching/repairing will not be effective due to evidence of water penetration to the substrate.

Drainage: Storm water on the roof is directed to roof drains with internal downspouts. No overflow drains were present.

Page 274 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 10 ends

Organic debris surrounded some of the roof drains which inhibit adequate storm water drainage.

Improperly installed utility lines and equipment near the roof drain may cause interruption to adequate storm water drainage.

Page 275 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 11 ends

Parapets and Coping: The parapets are approximately 6’-6” tall and run along the perimeter of the flat roof.

The parapets are finished with plywood panels and wood batons on the interior side. Metal flashing is located at areas where the wall is braced. The paint on the wood elements is pealing in some locations which could lead to water penetrating the wood elements leading to rot.

Page 276 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 12 ends

The base of the parapet wall is finished with metal flashing directly above the roof membrane. Ideally, the roof membrane runs up the wall a minimum of 8” with the metal flashing above. The current condition may be prone to water intrusion into the parapet wall assembly if water was to pond near the wall.

The top of the parapet is lacking the protective cap metal flashing. Water is susceptible to percolating into the wall assembly.

Page 277 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 13 ends

Roof Penetrations: Roof penetrations were present for sanitary stacks, vent fans, plumbing and electrical lines, etc.

The parapet walls at some locations are braced back onto the flat roof. The base of the braces are improperly water proofed leading to water penetrating into the roof membrane.

Roof Access: The roof is accessed via an interior ladder up to a roof hatch.

Existing utility lines running directly in front of the roof hatch poses a significant safety concern as users need to step over the lines when entering or existing the access hatch.

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 14 ends

Skylights: The main entrance lobby has 3 large skylights. There is also a pyramid-shaped skylight located at the end of the wing.

Two of the main entrance lobby skylights show evidence of water damage to the wood ceiling members.

General Condition: Poor – The PVC membrane is deteriorating as there is evidence of widespread minor factures and water intrusion.

Concerns:
• The roof is heavily congested with ductwork and conduit. Extensive HVAC, electrical and plumbing work would be needed in advance of any roof replacement or restoration work
• Repairs are required around the skylights to address leaks. • Isolated areas of ponding water present
• Widespread micro fractures in the membrane were observed. • Leaking ductwork
• Electrical and gas lines are laying directly on the roof membrane.

3.1.2.2 Gable Clay Tile Roof
Type: Clay tiles over cover board originally installed in 1981. It is approximately 4,000 square feet.

Damaged/missing tiles and mortar were observed at several locations.

Some of the clay roof tiles have detached and shifted causing water to possibly penetrate onto the underlayment.

Page 280 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 16 ends

Temporary repairs to the clay roof tiles were observed at locations where they have detached and shifted.

Drainage: Storm water on the roof is directed down the clay tiles onto a flat roof to gutters and downspouts.

Organic debris surrounded some of the roof drains which inhibits adequate storm water drainage.

Page 281 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 17 ends

Parapets and Coping: See Flat Roof Parapets and Coping.

Roof Penetrations: There were no roof penetrations at the tile roofs.

General Condition: Fair – The clay tiles are broken and the underlayment beneath the tile is also deteriorating at some locations causing it to become dry and brittle, compromising its effectiveness as a waterproof barrier.

Concerns:
• The underlayment beneath the tile is also deteriorating as they have become dry and brittle, compromising its effectiveness as a waterproof barrier. • Water will continue to make its way into the underlayment if the broken tiles are not replaced.
• The existing wood elements supporting the tiles may be decayed due to water intrusion and need to be replaced.

3.1.2.3 Ceilings
Type: 12”x12” acoustical tile over gypsum board.

Evidence of roof leaks were observed throughout the facility. These leaks ranged from small stains on ceiling tiles and stains inside light fixtures, to large sections of damaged finished ceiling.

Page 282 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 18 ends

In some areas, the acoustical ceiling tiles are separating from the gypsum board backing causing the tiles to shift in height.

General Condition: Fair. The majority of the ceiling tiles are in good shape, except for those damages by water.

Concerns: Although the leaks in areas have been repaired, the damaged/stained ceiling tiles remain. Special consideration will be required when removing and replacing the ceiling tiles. Portions of the existing gypsum board backing will also need to be replaced.

3.1.3 Recommendations

3.1.3.1 Flat Roof
The roof has surpassed it’s designed service life and has reached the point of failure.

Tear-off of the existing roofing layers down to the wood deck is required. Replacement of the roof should include the following:
• Installation of new tapered insulation and coverboard. • Installation of new sheet metal flashings.
• Replacement of damaged parapet wall siding.
• Painting of remaining parapet wall siding and stucco surfaces above the roof line with a thick film elastomeric paint.

In addition, activities including clearing and minor repair of drain system components should be performed regularly as part of the property management’s routine maintenance and operations program.

Page 283 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 19 ends

3.1.3.2 Gable Clay Tile Roof
The roof tiles were observed to generally be in good condition. Undamaged existing tiles can be salvaged for reinstallation. Salvaged tile should be cleaned to remove organic growth and resealed. Broken tiles should be replaced with new tiles matching the profile of the existing tiles. Depending on the amount of replacement tiles needed, it is recommended that one roof surface be selected to receive the new tile, allowing the original tile on that surface to be integrated with the other salvaged original tile and limiting the appearance of the new tile to a single location.

Felt underlayment such as originally used is typically one of the first components of a tile roofing system to fail since it does not have an expected service life that is similar to the concrete tiles. It is recommended to use synthetic material that has an extended service life more in line with the anticipated service life of the concrete tiles such as a high-vapor permeability synthetic material.

Although we anticipate retaining the plywood decking, we recommend that an allowance be carried for repair of decayed decking. At locations where the plywood sheathing and batten has decay, it is recommended to use either pressure-treated wood or naturally decay-resistant species for extended service life. Battens should be elevated off the roof deck to facilitate drainage. Batten extensions should be used where it is necessary to fasten a tile in an area with metal flashing. Fasteners attaching the battens to the roof and attaching tile to the battens should be stainless steel.

3.2 Food Service

3.2.1 Overview
RAS attended a site walk to review the existing pantry with the study team. The pantry is essentially a residential kitchen. In our discussions during the visit, we were directed to study a commercial health compliant replacement.

3.2.2 Assessment
The existing kitchen requires renovation to meet the current and future needs of the facility. The appliances and cabinetry are outdated and need to be modernized.

Page 285 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 21 ends

3.2.3 Recommendations
If this is to be used by the public, the counters and equipment will need to be ADA compliant but there are limitations to what can be ADA. The hand sink can be compliant, and the counters can be 34” AFF. The center worktables can be mobile so that the turn arounds and clearances are compliant. A 3-compartment sink cannot be compliant and still meet health code. Per health the 3 compartment sink tubs have to be sized for the largest utensil. The sinks have to be approximately 12” min deep to meet health regulations and there can be no knee space. The front roll edge must be 3” high to keep the water in the tubs and drainboards. This brings the sink The shelving and refrigeration will reach restrictions on the higher shelves. The ice machine is compliant to side reach.

See Appendix G: Food Service Schematic Plan and Preliminary Cost Estimate.

3.3 ADA Accessibility

3.3.1 Overview
CASp Property Inspection Report (CRASCA)
Construction Related Accessibility Standards Compliance Act Report

3.3.1.1 Scope of Report
Hilliard Architects was retained to inspect the path of travel and communal areas of the Milpitas Community Center, 457 E Calaveras Blvd, Milpitas, CA 95035 Architect Michael Hilliard, CASp 706 evaluated the facility on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

Improvement’s history, It was originally built in 1983 as a community center.

Description of the facility, including the nature of businesses the approximately 20,000 square feet of community center provides many services to the Milpitas community from preschoolers through seniors.

Accessibility Code Standard used for this report. Building Owners want to make voluntary accessibility upgrades to the building so the 2022 California Building Code was used for this report. Architect Michael Hilliard, CASp 706 evaluated the facility on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

Construction Work NOT Triggering Accessibility Upgrades is limited to the following:

California Building Code Section 11B-202.3: Projects consisting only of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, reroofing, electrical work not involving placement of switches and receptacles, cosmetic work that does not affect items regulated by this code, such as painting, equipment not considered to be a part of the architecture of the building or area, such as computer terminals and office equipment shall not be required to comply with Section 11B-202.4 unless they affect the usability of the building or facility. The 2025 State of California Valuation Threshold for Alterations or Additions is $203,611. When the
threshold is exceeded, you are required to bring the entire path of travel to the area of work up to the current accessibility code. For projects less than the threshold you must spend 20% of the construction value on accessibility upgrades. Remediation Items in this report are in the order mandated by the California Building Code Section 11B-202.3.

3.3.2 Assessment

3.3.2.1 Item #1 – 11B-503.4 Floor and Ground Surfaces
California Building Code: Vehicle pull-up spaces and access aisles serving them shall comply with Section 11B-302. Access aisles shall be at the same level as the vehicle pull- up space they serve. Changes in level, slopes exceeding 1:48, and detectable warnings shall not be permitted.

Non-Compliance: All accessible parking spaces and accessible Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) paved with asphalt exceed the 1:48 maximum slope. These spaces cannot exceed 1:48 in any direction within the extents of the parking spaces and access aisles.

Recommendation: Repave all non-concrete accessible parking spaces and accessible EVCS to comply with the 1:48 maximum slope. Most contractors use concrete to pave accessible parking spaces and access aisles because concrete is easier to control slopes than hot asphalt paving.

3.3.2.2 Item #2 – 11B-502.7.1 Arrangement
California Building Code: Parking spaces and access aisles shall be designed so that persons using them are not required to travel behind parking spaces other than to pass behind the parking space in which they parked.

Non-Compliance: The Accessible parking space and access aisle near pre-school yard do not provide safe and direct access to an accessible path of travel. It forces a wheelchair driving individual into traffic to reach the curb ramp on the left.

Page 288 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 24 ends

Recommendation: Move accessible parking and access aisle to a curb ramp or provide accessible walk and curb ramp access to aisle.

3.3.2.3 Item #3 – 11B-502.3.3 Marking
California Building Code: Access aisles shall be marked with a blue painted borderline around their perimeter. The area within the blue borderlines shall be marked with hatched lines a maximum of 36 inches (914 mm) on center in a color contrasting with that of the aisle surface, preferably blue or white. The words “NO PARKING” shall be painted on the surface within each access aisle in white letters a minimum of 12 inches (305 mm) in height and located to be visible from the adjacent vehicular way. Access aisle markings may extend beyond the minimum required length.

Recommendation: After repaving accessible parking and access aisles, they need to be painted. Carefully follow the code requirements including 36-inch square blue box with white lines around it (not 36-inch square white box), and a blue striped rectangle entirely around the access aisle.

3.3.2.4 Item #4 – 11B-81.8.2 Five to Twenty Five
California Building Code: Where five to twenty-five total EVCS are provided, one van

Page 289 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 25 ends

accessible EVCS shall be identified by an ISA complying with Section 11B-703.7.2.1 The required standard accessible EVCS shall not be required to be identified with an ISA.

Non-Compliance: California law does not reserve ISA-marked charging stations for disabled drivers only; instead, it requires accessible spaces to be available to all drivers, not limited to those with disability placards. The California Building Standards Code (CBC) requires that some EV charging stations be made accessible for people with disabilities, but the accessible space is still available for use by anyone who needs it. The part of the sign that states “PARKING ONLY VAN ACCESSIBLE MINIMUM FINE $250” is not correct.

Recommendation: The part of the sign that states “PARKING ONLY VAN ACCESSIBLE MINIMUM FINE $250” is not correct. The current federal ADA Standards do not mandate a "use last" model. However, the U.S. Access Board is considering it and is working on a notice of proposed rulemaking to address this and other specific technical requirements for EV charging stations.

3.3.2.5 Item #5 – 11B-302 Floor or Ground Surfaces
California Building Code:11B-302.1 General. Floor and ground surfaces shall be stable, firm and slip resistant and shall comply with Section 11B-302. 11B-302.2 Carpet. Carpet tile shall be securely attached and shall have a firm cushion, pad, or backing or no cushion or pad. Carpet or carpet tile shall have a level loop, textured loop, level cut pile, level cut/uncut pile texture. Pile height shall be 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) maximum. Exposed edges of carpet shall be fastened to floor surfaces and shall have trim on the entire length of the exposed edge. Carpet edge trim shall comply with Section 11B-303.

Non-Compliance: Walk off mats are not firm enough. They are a trip and wheelchair barrier hazard.

Page 290 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 26 ends

3.4 Mechanical and Plumbing

3.4.1 Overview
YEI Engineers Inc. conducted the HVAC assessment for the Milpitas Community Center at 457 E.

Calaveras Blvd, Milpitas, California prior to production of PS&E. Two inspections were performed on September 16, 2025 and October 9, 2025 by field observation. YEI Engineers consulted with the building maintenance facility on the condition of the mechanical systems. In addition, YEI Engineers reviewed the available record drawings and visited the site for limited field observations to evaluate existing conditions. The purpose of the HVAC assessment was to identify deficiencies, equipment or systems that will be replaced, and provide recommendations for replacements and upgrades per 2022 Edition of California Code of Regulations, Title 24.

The data contained within are based on the available record drawings that were provided to the YEI team and on the two field observations conducted. The team met with Milpitas Public Works personnel on September 16
th and October 9th to discuss the building HVAC units’ replacement project and conduct the field survey of the following HVAC systems:

1. Eight (8) existing constant volume single zone packaged rooftop air conditioning units with gas furnace

2. Existing Equipment Roof Curbs

3. Mechanical Ventilation Roof Exhausters

4. Outdoor insulated supply and return air distribution ducts and risers connected to the eight (8) existing packaged rooftop air conditioning units

5. AC unit bypass dampers

6. AC unit zone dampers

7. Associated wall mounted thermostats

8. AC unit controllers

9. 1 st floor air distribution outlets

10. Natural gas distribution piping above roof that served the eight (8) existing packaged rooftop air conditioning units

11. Condensate drain piping to the eight (8) existing packaged rooftop air conditioning units

12. Roof Drains and Overflow Roof Drains
The City maintenance staff noted that they have replaced HVAC duct smoke detectors on the AC units, and there is no major issue on the AC units except for old age. The Milpitas Community Center staff noted that some rooms are hot during summer and cold during winter.

The HVAC equipment assessment and roof replacement was prepared in accordance with the scope of work in the contract. The goal of the mechanical scope is to evaluate the current physical conditions of the packaged air condition units with gas furnaces, and identify their deficiencies. The observations and evaluations contained in this report reflect a professional review of the condition of the HVAC mechanical equipment.

The HVAC and electrical equipment were evaluated with respect to service/capacity adequacy, and current state of operating condition and serviceability.

Below is the abbreviated table of recommendations. More detailed descriptions of deficiencies and recommendations are shown in the HVAC Equipment Table and HVAC Equipment Recommendation Table.

3.4.2 Assessment
The HVAC equipment table includes the capacities from the available record drawings and visible equipment nameplate. Refer to Appendix B for the locations of the packaged air conditioning units that were evaluated. The mechanical equipment information was extracted from the available record drawings provided by the City and the survey information during our field observation period. The evaluation column contains the summary evaluation notes captured during our field observations, stated maintenance reports and design drawings. There were no maintenance reports available for the HVAC assessment report and replacement of parts and operation of the systems were only mentioned during our field observation.

On the day of the field observation, October 9, 2025, YEI Engineers, Inc. (Hubert Hidalgo, Jane Huynh) were accompanied by City of Milpitas Public Works facility maintenance personnel. YEI first received from the City of Milpitas personnel a printed Q&A email with the city’s answers to YEI questions. YEI then surveyed and observed the rooms in the Milpitas Community Center. All existing thermostats and smoke sensors with their respective locations were noted in order to verify the locations in the 2011 mechanical renovation drawings. The community center staff noted that the reception area can get warm and that the HVAC system is very loud in this area.

The packaged air conditioning units, AC-1 through AC-8, were manufactured in 2011 except AC-2 which was manufactured in 1981. AC-2 has long surpassed the 15-year mark, while the other AC units are approaching their operational useful life of 15 years, based on the ASHRAE Equipment Life Expectancy Chart (see Appendix D). The packaged air conditioning units have a DX system (refrigeration compressor, refrigerant evaporator coil, refrigerant condenser coil, and refrigerant piping) for cooling system, natural gas-fired furnace for morning warm up and heating during winter, and 100% outside air economizer.

3.5 Electrical

3.5.1 Overview
A field observation was conducted to determine if the existing as-built electrical plans matched what was constructed to verify the new HVAC and mechanical equipment can be fed from the existing electrical panels. In regard to location and ratings, the as-builts do match what was found in the field. Since all the mechanical AC units will be replaced, the existing electrical system can support the replacement of the new mechanical loads. The field observation also consisted of evaluating electrical equipment conditions along with deficiencies.

The electrical design will support the replacement of the new AC units and mechanical equipment. A comprehensive field observation was conducted to ascertain the congruence between the existing as-built electrical plans and the actual constructed electrical infrastructure.

The primary objective of this verification was to confirm that the new HVAC and mechanical equipment could be safely and effectively powered from the existing electrical panels.

3.5.2 Assessment
The electrical service for the facility is delivered via a Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) - owned pad mount transformer, identified by asset number 11467, strategically located at the North end of the building. This transformer steps down the primary voltage and feeds the Main Switchboard, designated "MSB2."
The Main Switchboard "MSB2" handles the facility's power requirements. It is rated for a nominal voltage of 208/120 Volts, 3-Phase, 4-Wire, with a continuous current capacity of 1200 Amperes.

The three distinct sections of the MSB2 serve specific functions:

1. PG&E Cable Pull Section: This initial section provides the necessary space and termination points for the utility-side service entrance conductors.

2. Utility Meter and Main Breaker Section: This middle section houses the PG&E revenue- grade metering equipment for tracking consumption.

3. Distribution Section: This final section is dedicated to branching power out to the various downstream loads and distribution panels within the building.

The distribution section powers six panelboards: Panel "RD", "RE", "RF", "RG", "RH", and "AC2." Additionally, it supplies power directly to a major mechanical load, specifically Air Conditioning Unit AC-8.

Furthermore, the Main Switchboard "MSB2" is designed to integrate supplementary power sources. A dedicated 450A circuit breaker is installed within the switchboard to accommodate solar photovoltaic systems and a backup emergency generator (for resiliency during utility outages), ensuring continuous and diversified power supply to the building.

The HVAC system on the roof of the building incorporates a total of eight air conditioning units.

Seven of these units, designated AC-1, AC-2, AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, AC-6 and AC-7, fed their power from a dedicated 208V, 400A panel, labeled "AC2", which is located near AC-6. This panel is specifically designed to manage the power distribution for these primary air conditioning units, ensuring their efficient and reliable operation.

In addition to these seven units, an eighth air conditioning unit, AC-8, also located on the roof, draws its power from the main 208/120V, 1200A Switchboard, designated "MSB2", which is located on the first floor electrical room C-46 (see roof plan image below).

Page 320 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 56 ends

The general-purpose non-gfci receptacles throughout the roof are supplied by a separate 208/120V, 150A panel, labeled "RH", which is located on the first floor electrical room C-46 (see floor plan image below). This panel is specifically allocated for supplying power to standard electrical outlets and lighting, ensuring that these common electrical points have a dedicated and appropriately sized power source.

There are four exhaust fans located on the roof. EF-1 and EF-2 are supplied by a 208/120V, 225A panel, labeled "RG", which is located in the kitchen room C-43. However, EF-3 and EF-4 require further field verification regarding their circuitry and power source, as the as-built drawings do not indicate their circuit numbers.

3.5.3 Recommendations
All eight air conditioning units will be replaced with new (AC-1, AC-2, AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, AC-6, AC-7 and AC-8). The mechanical equipment selection appears to have increased along with additional electrical loads for the supporting economizers for each AC unit. The existing electrical panel “AC2” can no longer support power to the new AC-1, AC-2, AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, AC-6, AC-7 and each supporting economizers. In addition, the existing 200A breaker at the Main Switchboard “MSB2” can no longer support power to the new AC-8.

Page 323 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 59 ends

The Main Switchboard "MSB2," and Panels "RD," "RE," "RF," and "RG" are original components from the 1982 installation. These components, including the switchboard and panelboards, have surpassed their 30-year expected service life. A further concern is that the original manufacturer, ITE, is no longer operating, which significantly increases the risk of being unable to source necessary replacement parts and new breakers.

Main Switchboard “MSB2” rating should be increased to 1600A, which is an additional 400A to the existing power capacity. Panel AC2 should be increased to 700A to accommodate the new AC-1 through AC-7 loads and their respective economizers. Panels “RD”, “RE”, “RF”, “RG”, and “RH” should be replaced with the same rating as the existing along with new conduit and cables.

Additionally, the PG&E transformer will require upgrading to 750KVA.

For the roof replacement, the existing exhaust fans will need to be removed. The existing conduit and cables will need to be disconnected and protected in place. When the reroofing is completed, the existing exhaust fans will be reinstalled and reconnected to the existing electrical.

It is also recommended that existing non-GFCI receptacles be replaced with GFCI receptacles to comply with NEC requirements.

3.6 Structural

3.6.1 Overview
The community center was constructed circa 1981-1982. We were provided record drawings dated 8-4-1981 prepared by Goodwin Steinberg Architects of the original construction. We were also provided HVAC renovation drawings prepared by Advanced Design Consultants, inc prepared 2/1/2010.

The structure consists of a wood framed building supported on a deep foundation consisting of drilled concrete piers. The wood framed structure consists of a combination of TJI I-joists, long span custom wood trusses and conventional framing.

3.6.2 Assessment
Brokaw Design, inc performed a cursory walk thru assessment of the structure on 9/16/2025.

During our visit the weather was clear and sunny. We did not remove any finishes or perform any testing. We also reviewed the available record drawings.

3.6.2.1 Site Observations
During our visit we noticed the following structural issues:

1. Portions of the roof structural roof plywood deck in the vicinity of the HVAC equipment were observed to have failed to the point that the roofing moved significantly. When stepping of the area it depressed a couple inches.

AREA OF FAILED ROOF DECK AND ROOFING

2. The exterior stucco had minor cracking that was observed. This appeared to be consistent with stucco of that age.

The weights of the proposed units appear to exceed the existing units by more the 10% in all cases. Based on our assessment of the framing in the area, this will require the framing below the units to be reinforced with new supplemental roof framing.

3.6.3 Recommendations
Based on our cursory walk thru survey, our review of the record drawings and review of the preliminary proposed unit weights, we offer the following recommendations:

1. When the roofing is replaced, portions of the roof decking should be anticipated to be replaced.

2. The exterior stucco cracks should be ground out to sound material, caulked and repainted.

3. All new HVAC unit should be supported on pre-engineered roof curbs.

4. The existing framing likely needs to be reinforced with new sistered framing and blocking to support the new roof curbs. This will need to be evaluated as the units are selected if lighter units are not available.

3.7 Environmental

3.7.1 Overview
AET in conjunction with SCA Environmental Inc, conducted an environmental hazardous material survey for Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs), Lead (Pb) Based and Containing Materials, and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs).

The survey was limited to the areas walked and should not be considered a comprehensive survey of the entire building. No inspection of investigation behind walls or in any other generally inaccessible areas was performed.

The full Asbestos, Lead (Pb) & Mold Survey Report, prepared by SCA Environmental Inc. for AET, is included as Appendix F. The attached report includes a full description of the sampling methodologies, definitions, testing locations, laboratory results, conclusions and recommendations, and assessment and abatement costs. This section only provides a representative summary of findings, conclusions and recommendations.

SCA warrants that this survey was performed using due care and state of the art techniques.

Beyond this, SCA does not warrant or guarantee the survey. Despite the care exercised, some materials may not have been identified, or may have been incompletely identified. This condition may occur due to renovations or original construction practices that concealed older materials, and/or visually similar materials with different compositions.

3.7.2 Assessment

3.7.2.1 Asbestos
Sampling activities were conducted per Federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) regulations under the Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 763 (40 CFR Part 763). Samples of suspect materials were collected following modified AHERA sampling protocols, and sample locations were documented on the sample location diagram (Figure 1). All asbestos samples collected were submitted to Asbestos TEM Laboratories (ATEM) in Oakland, CA for analysis by polarized light microscopy with dispersion staining (DS/PLM).

SCA has entered the sampling data into Exhibit 1: Materials Matrix Report (MMR) included in Attachment 1 which present the detailed sample results, locations, and quantity estimates, as well as a summary of identified asbestos containing materials.

Sample locations are included on the sample location diagram in Figure 1 in Attachment 2 (asbestos sample locations are shown in blue), and Laboratory results in Attachment 3.

3.7.2.2 Lead
SCA performed bulk lead sampling of representative exterior coatings to confirm the presence and extent of lead-containing paints. Representative bulk samples of building materials that may contain lead were also collected. Samples collected were submitted to McCampbell Analytical, Inc. (MAI) in Pittsburg, CA for analysis by Inductively Coupled

Page 328 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 64 ends

Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS) EPA Method 6010.

In general, lead results of coatings ranged between 0.618 and 143 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) in paints. Lead results, quantities, and locations for paints and coatings are included in Exhibit 1 in Attachment 1. The Sample Location Diagram illustrating where the specific samples were collected is included in Figure 1 in Attachment 2 (lead sample locations are shown in green), and all analytical reports are included in Attachment 4. Exterior paints throughout the roof were noted to be in good condition.

3.7.2.3 PCB and other Hazardous Materials
Given the age of the buildings, representative suspect building materials were sampled to determine for PCB content. The roof building materials included various caulking. The materials sampled for PCBs were found to contain between <10 mg/kg and <11 mg/kg of PCBs, which is below the hazardous waste standard of 50 mg/kg for PCBs.

3.7.3 Recommendations

3.7.3.1 Asbestos
(SCA assumes that this survey report may be referenced by Abatement Contractors providing bids for abatement of materials prior to renovation at the surveyed work areas.

SCA requests that this text portion of the report be provided to bidding contractors for review. Bidding Contractors are hereby notified that the quantities included herein are estimates only, and all quantities should be field verified by the Contractor for any budgeting, planning or bidding decisions.

3.7.3.2 Lead
As lead was identified in most paints and coatings and a detailed inventory of paints was not performed for the project, for the purpose of complying with California’s lead in construction regulation under Title 8 California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 1532.1 (8 CCR 1532.1), all coated surfaces shall be considered to contain some lead and require demolition dust control procedures and presumed respiratory protect ion usage for compliance with 8 CCR 1532.1.

Conventional demolition techniques should be employed for all painted surfaces with the Contractor complying with applicable Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administrations (OSHA) and Cal/OSHA statutes regarding:
• Worker awareness training
• Exposure monitoring, as needed
• Medical examinations, which may include blood lead level testing • Establishing a written respiratory protection program In California, loose and peeling lead-containing or other wastes require characterization and testing for leachability. Current EPA and Cal/EPA regulations do not require lead- containing paints to be removed prior to demolition, unless loose and peeling. P rovided

Page 329 of 336 ends

City of Milpitas Community Center Roof Renovation
Public Works Department Condition Assessment Report

Page 65 ends

that the paint coatings are securely adhered to the substrates (i.e., non-flaking or non- peeling), disposal of intact demolition debris can generally be handled in California as non-hazardous and non-Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) waste, pending receipt of waste characterization testing following demolition.

3.7.3.3 PCB and other Hazardous Materials
SCA noted the presence of AC units throughout the roof. AC units contain freon, which is considered a hazardous waste, if not properly recycled (i.e., reclaimed for reuse).

Refrigeration systems are not hazardous waste when recycled, as long as the freon i s reclaimed by trained technicians for recycling or disposal.

SCA also noted the presence of avian/animal waste throughout the roof. The City is advised that additional animal waste may be present behind substrates and not immediately visible without destructive means.

*Given the age and condition of the building, hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead -
based paint and moisture due to ongoing water intrusion may be encountered during construction. The extent of abatement or remediation will not be known until the d emolition
phase begins. The budget will carry a 5% contingency to address this matter if it is encountered in the field.
