1 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

PREPARED BY:
Donald Larkin, City Attorney
APPROVED BY: City Manager
APPOINT THE CITY ATTORNEY AS REPRESENTATIVE TO PLAN JPA
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
RECOMMENDATION(S)
Adopt a resolution designating the City Attorney position as the City's representative and the Risk Management Analyst position as the alternate to the PLAN JPA Board of Directors.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES

Public Safety
REPORT NARRATIVE:
Background:
Originally created in 1986 by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), PLAN was formed as a non-profit public benefit corporation to assist member communities that were struggling to obtain affordable liability insurance. PLAN has since transitioned to a joint powers insurance authority and is no longer directly affiliated with ABAG.
Pooled Liability Assurance Network Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA) is a joint powers insurance authority consisting of 28 member cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Members of PLAN JPA collectively share the risk of self-insured losses and purchase a broad range of risk management services including, program administration, accounting and finance, claims administration, risk control, loss prevention, actuarial services, training and education, and legal services to support the shared risk programs.
Each member agency appoints one primary staff member and one alternate to the PLAN JPA Board of Directors. Member agencies generally appoint the staff member most involved in claims and risk management (e.g. City Manager, Finance Director, Human Resources Director, or City Attorney). In 2018, Morgan Hill appointed City Attorney Donald Larkin as the primary board member, and Risk Management Analyst Shadia Hrichi as the alternate. With Mr. Larkin's retirement, the City Council must appoint a new representative.
1 Rather than appoint an individual, staff recommends that the City Council designate the position of City Attorney as their appointment to the Board, and the position of Risk Management Analyst as the alternate. This will ensure continuity in the event of a staff transition.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
None
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council could choose a different staff member or position to represent the City on the PLAN JPA Board of Directors.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The City Council appointed Donald Larkin as representative to the ABAG PLAN Corporation Board of Directors in July 2016. Donald Larkin was appointed to the PLAN JPA Board of Directors in June 2018.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Fiscal:
The appointment of a representative to the PLAN JPA Board of Directors will have no direct fiscal impact.
Resource:
Service on the PLAN JPA Board of Directors is part of the City Attorney's role as Risk Manager and is not an additional duty.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Not a Project
Organizational or administrative activities of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan
Water System Master Plan
REPORT NARRATIVE:
The Holiday Lake Capital Improvement Project involves a multi-year operational reorganization of the existing Holiday Lake water system pressure zones. The City's past Water Master Plan(s) identified the need for these improvements due to a deficiency in water storage for fire protection for the Holiday Lake and Jackson Oaks neighborhoods. The required infrastructure needed to address this deficiency in the
2 Holiday Lake and Jackson Oak neighborhoods includes the construction of a new reservoir/tank above East Dunne Avenue (Phase 1) and the installation of a new water transmission line from the new reservoir/tank to the existing Holiday Lake reservoir(s)/tank(s) (Phase 2). A new booster station will also be built as part of Phase 2 (Attachment 1-Project Location Map).
In 2016, Kennedy/Jenks Consultants were awarded the design contract for the East Dunne Reservoir/tank project. The reservoir design was finalized in late 2023 and the project was put out to bid in the Spring of 2024. On June 26, 2024, the City Council awarded the East Dunne Hillside Reservoir/tank construction contract to Azul Works Inc. (Phase 1) and approved a construction support services contract with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants in the amount of $300,000. The East Dunne Reservoir Project is scheduled to be completed later this year. As construction has progressed, the need to use Kennedy/Jenks services has exceeded the amount that was originally anticipated by city staff. This additional use of the consultant was due to redesign work identified in the field, which reduced construction costs, lowered long-term operating costs, and supported the project advancing ahead of schedule. Therefore, staff is recommending that the contract with Kenndey/Jenks be amended by the amount of $197,757 to ensure adequate construction support services are available through the duration of the project, anticipated to be completed by the end of 2026. The revised contract amount with Kennedy/Jenks would be $497,757($300,000+$197,757) (Attachment 2-First Amendment).
Phase 2 of the Holiday Lake Capital Improvements project will involve the design and construction of a new booster station and a water transmission line to move water from the new East Dunne reservoir/tank to the existing Holiday Lake reservoirs/tanks. With Kennedy/Jenks involvement with Phase 1 (both design and construction support), they have gained invaluable knowledge and understanding of the City's complex water system, including booster pumps, motor control systems, pipe locations and connections, pressure zones, and sequencing of operations. As such, selecting a new design firm would negate much of the previous knowledge/experience for the project, and it would create both design inefficiency and unnecessary costs to the project.
Kennedy/Jenks Consultant's scope of work would include the modification of the existing east Dunne Booster station pumps, designing the new Holiday Lake Booster Station and the water transmission line from the new Dunne Reservoir/tank to the existing Holiday Lake reservoir/tank (Attachment 3-Consultant Agreement). Staff therefore recommends the approval of the Kennedy/Jenks Consultants agreement for a not to exceed amount of $1,422,058 to allow for the completion of the Holiday Lake Capital Improvements Project. While this design work will come at significant cost, the Phase 2 design is highly complex, involving not only the design of the full booster station and new transmission line, but also the integration of the new infrastructure with the existing Holiday Lake Reservoir and significant existing water infrastructure.
Therefore, staff believes the costs and associated hours of engineering work is appropriate.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform
2 Staff has provided presentations regarding the project to the communities of Jackson Oaks and Holiday Lake Estates multiple times since 2015, but most recently on April 8, 2026. The presentations provide design elements and updates on the status of the project. Staff will continue community engagement prior to the start of the project and during the project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
City Council may decide not to enter into an agreement with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants for the Holiday Lake Booster Station and Piping project. However, the project was approved in the FY 2024-25 to 2029-30 Capital Improvement Budget under Holiday Lake Improvements.
City Council may also decide not to enter into a construction contract with Kennedy/Jenks for continued construction support services. However, it is common practice to have the design firm involved in the construction process to address design and constructability issues and review critical submittals.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
On January 20, 2016, the City Council approved a Professional Service Agreement with Kennedy Jenks Consultants to design the East Dunne Avenue Reservoir project for $390,278.
On August 24, 2016, the City Council approved a Second Amendment with Kennedy Jenks Consultants for a total contract price of $526,074.
On June 7, 2023, City Council approved a professional services agreement with Kennedy Jenks Consultants to complete the design for the East Dunne Avenue Hillside Water Reservoir project not to exceed $240,187.
On May 15, 2024, the City Council Adopted and certified the project Mitigated Negative Declaration and approved the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project.
On June 19, 2024, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2024-25 and 2025-2026 Operating Budget and FY 2024-2025 through 2029-2030 Capital Improvement Program Budget.
On June 26, 2024, the City Council awarded the construction contract to Azul Works Inc. and approved a construction support services contract with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants for $300,000.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Funding for both contracts is budgeted in the FY 2024-25 Capital Budget from CIP WA6007-Holiday Lake Improvements, utilizing Water Capital Project Funds (653) and Water Impact Funds (651). The City received $4 million from the Urban Community Drought Relief Grant program through the State of California's Department of Water
2 Resources for this project.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Project
An Initial Study (IS) and Mitigated Negative Declaration was updated by Raney Planning & Management to identify and mitigate all environmental impacts from the project. The Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan were approved by City Council on May 15, 2024, and incorporated into the project specifications. The Mitigated Negative Declaration was filed with the County Recorder's Office on May 29, 2024.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Understanding and Background
This proposal is based on discussions with City staff; a review of the Theory of Operations Preliminary Report prepared by Akel Engineering Group, Inc. (Akel Engineering, March 2023); coordination with Akel Engineering; an evaluation of Table 8.2 and Figure 8.1 of the Water System Master Plan (WSMP); and Kennedy Jenks’ previous work on the development of the East Dunne Hillside Water Reservoir site and the East Dunne Booster Pump Station Modifications.
It is understood that the City requires design of the new Holiday Lake Pump Station (HL-PS) at the East Dunne Hillside Reservoir site to boost water from the new East Dunne Hillside Water Reservoir to the existing Holiday Lake Tanks and a new pipeline to convey water from the new HL-PS to the Holiday Lake Tanks site. The City will provide input and confirm the flowrate and pipeline sizing.
It is understood that the new pipeline construction will consist of two segments of the Holiday Lake Pipeline as shown in the WSMP Figure 8.1 and Table 8.2: 1) HL-P3 along East Dunne Avenue; and 2) HL-P4 along Oak Leaf Drive. The proposed 12-inch Holiday Lake Pipeline will be approximately 0.93 miles (4,900 LF) in length and will ultimately connect to the 12-inch Lake View Drive (HL-P5) segment, which has already been constructed and conveys water to the Holiday Lake Tanks. The connection is anticipated to occur along Park View Drive just east of its intersection with Blue Grass Court as seen on Figure 1. Based on information provided by the City, this proposal was prepared assuming the majority of the new pipeline alignment will maintain approximately 3.5 feet of cover, except in locations where additional depth is required to avoid existing utilities.
Kennedy Jenks will review the previous design modifications of the E. Dunne Booster Pump Station, in coordination with City input regarding control of the pump station pressure zones in the lower E. Dunne service area and assess the need for a larger standby engine generator.
This proposal is based on review of the preliminary pipeline alignment provided by the City outlined in the Theory of Operations Preliminary Report prepared by Akel Engineering (March 2023), previous borehole logs from geotechnical investigations at the East Dunne Hillside Water Reservoir site, and preliminary review of the City of Morgan Hill geologic maps showing local geologic conditions in the vicinity of the project.
From review of the local geology, it is understood that a primary geotechnical challenge to constructing the pipeline may be the excavatability of the site soils/bedrock along the planned pipeline alignment. The City geologic map shows two primary geologic units along the alignment: 1) Santa Clara Formation, some portions of which are mapped as containing hard basalt boulders, which are readily visible on the slopes adjacent to East Dunne Avenue; and 2) Serpentinite, which varies in hardness from “soft, highly sheared” to “hard, relatively fresh boulder-like masses”.
Both geologic units have the potential to present difficult excavation conditions, requiring excavation methods beyond the use of conventional backhoes or excavators, such as jack hammers or ram-hoes. Therefore, one of the primary reasons for a subsurface exploration program along the proposed pipeline alignment is to help identify areas along the proposed alignment that may present difficult excavation conditions, to potentially adjust the alignment, and to reduce the potential for change orders during construction.
We understand that the City would like one (1) set of construction documents prepared to include all elements of the project. The elements of the project are shown in Figure 1 and have been broken down into seven areas as noted below:
2-A: East Dunne Booster Pump Station Modifications (ED-PS) • Upgrade existing ED-PS Pump 2A from 180 gpm to 450 gpm and Pump 2B from 190 gpm to 450 gpm (1 duty + 1 standby) to service the newly constructed East Dunne Hillside Reservoir.
2-B: Holiday Lake Pump Station (HL-PS)
• Construct new pump station building to house three (3) new 350 gpm pumps (2 duty + 1 standby) to serve existing Holiday Lake Zone Tanks 1 and 2. • Provide diesel standby engine-generator unit with subbase tank containing fuel supply for 48 hours of continuous, full-load operation
• Demolition of existing irrigation pump station (pump and pressure tank), and controls.
Irrigation water supply to be transferred to connection from pump station discharge piping with backflow prevention.
2-C: Holiday Lake Pipeline (HL-P3) – Dunne Avenue
• Construct approximately 2,500 LF of 12-inch water main, from the proposed Holiday Lake Zone Pump Station along Dunne Avenue to Oak Leaf Drive. o Interconnect with the existing 8-inch water main at the following locations:
▪ Approximately 1,300 feet south of the intersection of Dunne Avenue and Oak Leaf Drive.
▪ Intersection of Dunne Avenue and Oak Leaf Drive.
2-D: Holiday Lake Pipeline (HL-P4) – Oak Leaf Drive
• Construct approximately 2,400 linear feet of 12-inch water main along Oak Leaf Drive, from Dunne Drive to Lori Drive/Park View Drive.
2-E: ED-PS to Holiday Zone 1 Pipeline Tie-In
• Construct approximately 600 LF of 12-inch water main from the intersection of Thomas Grade Drive and East Dunne Avenue to the intersection of Thomas Grade Drive and Kruse Ranch Lane.
• Interconnect at existing locations:
i. Interconnect with the existing 16-inch from the ED-PS along Dunne Ave, ii. Interconnect with the existing 12-inch water main at the intersection of Thomas Grade Drive and Kruse Ranch Lane.
• Alignment assumed to be within existing easement and/or right-of-way. 2-F: Right-of-Way Northeast of East Dunne Pump Station
• Approximately 2,800 LF of 8-inch water main between East Dunne Pump Station and Oak Leaf Drive will remain in service. No change.
2-G: Proposed Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV)
• Construct a PRV approximately 1,800 feet west of Dunne Avenue within the road rightof-way on Thomas Grade Drive at an elevation of 703 feet.
Scope of Work
Kennedy Jenks will provide professional design services required to complete the design of the pump station, pipelines, PRV, and modifications to the existing pump station, working closely with City staff. Kennedy Jenks will provide electronic files of design plans in AutoCAD format.
Deliverables such as specifications will generally be furnished in electronic format using MS Word or Adobe PDF format. Our work is organized into eight (8) phases and two optional phases as described below:
Phase 1000 – Project Management
Task 01 – Project Initiation
Kennedy Jenks will set up the project within Kennedy Jenks’ accounting system, prepare subconsultant agreements, and issue a Project Initiation Plan to the design team, outlining the scope and budget, and developing a baseline schedule.
A Hazard Appraisal & Recognition Plan (HARP) will be prepared and implemented for the work.
If an employee needs to visit the site where ongoing field investigation activities are ongoing, they will implement the requirements of the HARP. Subconsultants will prepare HARPs for field activities they plan as part of the Project and submit them for informational purposes prior to performing the field activities.
Task 02 – Monitoring and Control
Project coordination will include bi-weekly phone calls with the City’s project manager to discuss work progress, schedule, and budget. Additional regular communication with the City’s project manager will be done by phone and email to coordinate project activities. The frequency of these calls will be adjusted throughout the project according to the level of activity. In addition, Kennedy Jenks will regularly communicate with the Project Engineer, project team members, and subconsultants throughout the project. A Major Decisions Log (MDL) that documents the City’s major decisions related to the Project will also be prepared and maintained.
Task 03 – Monthly Reports and Invoicing
Monthly invoices will be prepared and submitted electronically to the City in accordance with the Agreement. Invoices will be prepared and submitted electronically on a monthly basis. Monthly project progress status updates will be prepared and delivered to the City to support the monthly invoices prepared.
Task 04 – Project Closeout
Kennedy Jenks will complete all project closeout activities, including finalizing documentation, resolving outstanding comments, and confirming that all deliverables have been submitted to the City. The team will participate in a closeout meeting to review the project; capture lessons
learned and confirm completion of scope. Kennedy Jenks will also archive project files in accordance with internal standards and client requirements.

Task 03 – Milestone Reviews
The draft Basis of Design Technical Memorandum, Construction Document Submittals (e.g. 30%, 60%, 90%, 100%), and other deliverables will be reviewed. Reviews will be performed by senior staff and will include inter-discipline coordination checks.
Phase 1200 – Meetings
It is anticipated that the kickoff meeting will address still undefined elements of the project associated with the E. Dunne Booster Pump Station modifications, E. Dunne Hillside Water Reservoir, and Holiday Lake Pump Station and Pipeline. It is anticipated that the design review meetings will address all elements of the project. Kennedy Jenks will prepare for and participate in the following meetings with the City. The meetings are estimated to have a 2-hour maximum duration (excluding time for preparation of materials) and will be attended by up to six (6) staff.
1. Kick-off meeting – to be held virtually
2. 30% Design Review Meeting – to be held virtually
3. 60% Design Review meeting – to be held virtually

Task 1200 Deliverables:
1. Meeting Agendas and Notes (Electronic, Adobe pdf format)
Phase 2000 – Investigations
Task 01 – Topographic Survey
Kennedy Jenks will subcontract with Mark Thomas & Company (MTC) to provide utility and boundary survey services necessary for developing the design for the pipeline. MTC shall supply all labor and furnish all materials, supplies, tools and equipment, and all consumable items that are required to complete the utility and boundary survey of the pipeline limits shown in Figure 1. All survey work shall be completed by a California licensed land surveyor in accordance with applicable California statutes governing land surveying. The horizontal survey datum shall be California State Plane Coordinate (SPC) System NAD83, US feet and the vertical datum shall be NAVD88, US feet as derived from previous work from 2016, so the two projects are in alignment. Temporary control points (horizontal and vertical) shall be established at the site for ground control based on the specified datums.
Subtask 01.01 – Aerial Mapping
MTC will perform a survey to provide topographic mapping sufficient to serve as the basis for future civil design work. Pertinent accessible and surface visible above and below ground features will be located and documented primarily using Aerial mapping means supplemented by field surveys. Field crews will set flight panels to control aerial mapping efforts. Once aerial targets are set MTC’s Aerial Consultant will fly the project to capture the aerial imagery. MTC will process the data from the field survey and provide coordinate values to the Aerial Consultant to perform aerial triangulation. Once aerial triangulation is complete the aerial consultant will produce mapping and ortho photo rectification. This data will serve as the base map to facilitate design efforts of the pipelines. Mapping will include planimetrics, a Digital Terrain Model (DTM), and contours presented at a scale of 1”=40’ with a 1’ Contour Interval.
This scope item is limited to one (1) day of fieldwork for a 2-person crew.
Subtask 01.02 – Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Detection and Mark Out MTC SUE crews will provide private utility detection and marking services to an ASCE SUE Quality Level B (QL-B) underground utilities. Crews will utilize electromagnetic (EM) induction and ground-penetrating radar (GPR), as appropriate, to detect subsurface utilities and will mark detected utilities using paint, flags, and/or whiskers. Utility markings will be placed in pink to denote survey marking and dotted using APWA/USA color code conventions to identify the utility type. Where feasible, estimated utility depths will be obtained based on signal characteristics from EM locating or GPR; depth information is dependent on-site conditions and signal quality. Any notable issues, limitations, or discrepancies identified during the QL-B investigation will be reported to Kennedy Jenks and documented as part of the SUE deliverables. This scope of work is limited to eight (8) days of a one person SUE crew.
In addition to the field task described above, MTC will perform Quality ASCE SUE Level D (QLD) utility research to identify available records and published utility information within the Area of Interest. QL-D services will be performed using CivilGrid, a cloud-based utility data aggregation platform. This effort will include:
• Collection and review of available utility records and datasets from public and private utility owners, municipalities, and other data providers. • Compilation of existing utility information to support planning-level understanding of subsurface utility conditions.
• Integration of QL-D utility information with field observations, where applicable, to support subsequent Quality Level B efforts.
QL-D information is limited to the accuracy and completeness of available records and is intended for planning and coordination purposes only.
Subtask 01.03 – Supplemental Utility Survey
MTC will field survey underground and overhead utilities and structures based upon surface visible evidence and available dips within the project limits. These field surveys will utilize conventional ground survey techniques and will supplement the base mapping developed in Task 1. Information to be captured will include:
Sewers, catch basins, and manhole lids locations and elevations. Manholes and catch basins shall be opened and dipped to obtain structure/pipe inverts and manhole body size and eccentricity (if possible);
• Water valves, meters, hydrants, manhole lids and vaults; • Gas valves, stand pipes, manhole lids and vaults;
• Overhead/underground telecom features, including manhole lids and vaults; • Overhead/underground electric features, including poles, manhole lids and vaults. • Dips at intersections will be sufficient to determine slope through the intersection. • All Utility Marks
No utilities will be dipped other than sewer and storm. This scope of work is limited to four (4) days of fieldwork for a two (2) person crew.
Subtask 01.04 – Boundary Survey of APN 729-01-001
MTC will perform a field survey to locate necessary monumentation (based on publicly available record maps filed with the County of Santa Clara) to establish property lines of APN 729-01-001 (2700 THOMAS GRADE AVE, MORGAN HILL, CA 95037-6731), also being Lot 1 on Tract No. 5134 (319M37). It is our understanding that no other monument ties to other maps other than those publicly available will be necessary to complete this project. The Santa Clara County Maps of interest include: 267M1, 319M37, 343M4, 639M25, and 640M33.
Once the field data is collected and processed, MTC will plot the retraced boundary lines in a "LandNet" CAD file to be shared with the design team.
MTC will also plot encumbrances as shown in the title report for APN 729-01-001.
Encumbrances are limited to those shown in the title report and MTC is not liable for unwritten or unrecorded rights. Encumbrances will be noted by the exception number in the title report and the title report number for the subject parcel. These exceptions will be plotted against the retraced right-of-way/boundary lines. The combination of right-of-way and encumbrances will serve as the Land net for use in the design process. The cost of procuring the title report is included in this scope and fee. This scope of work is limited to one (1) day of field work for a two (2) person crew.
Subtask 01.05 – Boundary Survey and Record of Survey of Thomas Grade If required, MTC can work with the City of Morgan Hill to document the location of Thomas Grade (formerly Dunne Ave) from the intersection of the current E Dunne Ave and Thomas Grade as shown on Tract No. 5134 , along Lots 1 & 2 and 80 Open Space to the mapped location of Thomas Grade on Tract No. 4696 (267M1). Since this portion of Thomas Grade in question has not been shown on a previously recorded map (presumably created by deed dedication), MTC will be obligated under Business and Professions code 8762 of the Professional Land Surveyors Act to file a Record of Survey with the County of Santa Clara. It is assumed that the Record of Survey will be no more than two (2) sheets. This scope assumes addressing only one round of comments from the county is included.
Task 02 – Geotechnical Investigation
Kennedy Jenks will subcontract with Haley & Aldrich to conduct a geotechnical investigation of the pipeline alignment and Holiday Lake Pump Station site sufficient to design the Holiday Lake Pump Station and associated pipelines. The geotechnical investigations task includes the following elements:
Subtask 02.01 – Project Management and Meetings
Haley & Aldrich will manage and coordinate our field investigation with Kennedy Jenks and City staff. It is assumed boring locations will be readily accessible by truck-mounted drilling equipment. We have also budgeted for two one-hour meetings (virtual) during the project.
Subtask 02.02 – Data Review and Site Reconnaissance
Haley & Aldrich will review available, pertinent soils, geotechnical, geologic, groundwater elevation data, and seismic data previously developed for private and public improvement projects that are readily attainable from the City, Santa Clara Valley Water District, Santa Clara County, Caltrans, U.S. Geological Survey, and other public agencies. Haley & Aldrich will review the available geologic and soil mapping before conducting our field investigation. In addition, reconnaissance of the site will consist of:
• Confirming drill rig access;
• Documenting of the site with photographs;
• Applying for and obtaining an encroachment permit from the City; • Identifying visually and documenting key features pertinent to the geotechnical design; • Marking of preliminary boring locations in the field; and • Notifying Underground Service Alert (USA) for utility marking. A private utility locator will also be used to clear the boring locations.
Subtask 02.03 – Field Investigation
Subsurface exploration will consist of drilling up to seven borings along the planned pipeline alignment and at the pump station and PRV on Thomas Grade. The borings will be drilled using truck-mounted drilling equipment and will extend to depths ranging from 15 to 30 feet below grade unless drill refusal occurs at a shallower depth. The borings are anticipated to be drilled in one day. A drilling permit is not required by the Santa Clara Valley Water District for borings less than 45 feet in depth. We assume a no-fee encroachment permit is required for this work, which we will apply for with the City.
Soil samples will be collected using the Standard Penetration Test Split Spoon Sampler and/or California Modified Sampler methods, and blow count data will be obtained for engineering analysis. Soil samples will generally be taken at 3- to 5-foot intervals. Groundwater levels will be measured in the borings if encountered.
At completion, borings will be backfilled with neat cement slurry following Santa Clara Valley Water District’s requirements. Soil cuttings will be collected and disposed of off the site. Testing and disposal charges will be added to our estimate if contaminated materials are encountered.
Subtask 02.04 – Laboratory Testing
Laboratory testing will be performed on selected soil samples retrieved from the borings to determine engineering properties and confirm field classifications. Laboratory testing is anticipated to include, but is not limited to, moisture content, dry soil density, sieve analysis, Atterberg Limits, and shear strength testing. In addition, two samples will be tested following Caltrans corrosion requirements, including Minimum Resistivity, pH, Chloride, and Sulfate.
Subtask 02.05 – Engineering Analysis and Geotechnical Design Report Haley & Aldrich will evaluate the boring logs, and laboratory test results to estimate the geotechnical engineering properties of the encountered materials. Engineering analysis will include calculations and analysis for foundation design. The results from the data review, subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, and engineering analysis will be used as the basis
for the development of geotechnical recommendations to be presented in a Geotechnical Design Report with supporting graphics and data. Our Geotechnical Design Report will include the following:
• An introduction including site location, description, and purpose of the investigation; • Figures, including a site plan showing our boring locations, and key site features, and applicable geologic mapping;
• A summary of the site geology and subsurface conditions; • Boring logs and test results from the subsurface exploration and lab testing; • Site seismicity and seismic hazards, including liquefaction potential; • Foundation design criteria, including design criteria for vertical and lateral support of the structure; and
• Site grading recommendations, including criteria for fill quality and compaction, and exterior concrete flatwork.
A draft report will be provided for review and comment before a final report is issued.
Task 2000.02 Deliverables:
1. Draft and Final Geotechnical Report
Task 03 – Potholing
Kennedy Jenks will prepare a draft proposed potholing plan and associated map for City review.
Following receipt of City comments, the potholing plan will be revised and finalized. Kennedy Jenks will subcontract with Bess Utility Solutions (Bess) to perform utility verification at selected locations along the project alignment, as identified in the approved potholing plan, for the purpose of confirming the horizontal and vertical location of existing underground utilities. For scoping purposes, it is assumed that up to 22 potholes will be required, with an estimated depth distribution of 12 potholes at approximately 4 feet of cover and 10 potholes at approximately 8 feet of cover. These quantities and depths are preliminary and may be refined upon further coordination with the City or based on field conditions; if additional potholes are required or if deeper and more intensive excavation (e.g., trench slots or extended shoring) is necessary, an increase in budget and schedule will be required and will be authorized in writing prior to proceeding. It is assumed that Class II AB backfill and temporary cold‑patch pavement restoration will be acceptable for all pothole locations. Any requirement for hot‑mix asphalt or more extensive permanent pavement repairs will be considered outside the scope of this proposal and will require additional budget and a contract amendment. The information collected will support the design efforts by Kennedy Jenks and reduce construction risk associated with unknown or inaccurately mapped utilities. Bess will prepare a draft and final
potholing report summarizing methods, findings, and field data as the deliverable for this task.
Task 2000.03 Deliverables:
1. Draft and Final Proposed Pothole Plan
2. Draft and Final Pothole Report
Task 04 – Field Investigation
Kennedy Jenks will conduct one (1) site visit to each pump station location – the E. Dunne Booster Pump Station and the E. Dunne Hillside Reservoir site, which will serve as the future location of the Holiday Lake Pump Station – and walk the proposed pipeline alignments and site of the proposed pressure‑reducing valve (PRV) alignment to verify existing field conditions, including the existing generator, electrical equipment capacity, utility service capacity, and utility connection availability, as well as identify site-specific constraints that may influence design or construction. The field investigation will be attended by up to five (5) Kennedy Jenks team members and will be performed during development of the Preliminary Design.
Task 05 – Utility Research and Review
Kennedy Jenks will contact Underground Service Alert to determine the utility owners within the project limits and send formal requests to each utility owner requesting record drawings and any future utility plans.
Phase 3000 – Preliminary Design
Task 01 – Coordination
Kennedy Jenks will attend periodic internal and external coordination meetings pertaining to the Preliminary Design.
Task 02 – 30% Drawings and OPCC
Selected partially complete 30% drawings, an opinion of probable construction cost (OPCC), and an updated drawing list will be prepared and included in the Technical Memorandum described in the next task. The guidelines of the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) will be followed and standard Kennedy Jenks cost estimating procedures for this initial OPCC and subsequent OPCCs will be performed. The initial OPCC will be in accordance with AACE Class 4 estimate guidelines.
Task 3000.02 Deliverables:
1. AACE Class 4 OPCC (Electronic, Adobe pdf format)
2. Preliminary (30%) Drawings (Electronic, Adobe pdf format)
Task 03 – Basis of Design Technical Memorandum (TM) for Pump Stations
and Pipelines
Kennedy Jenks will prepare a single technical memorandum (TM) summarizing the basis of design for the Holiday Lake Pump Station, E. Dunne Booster Pump Station modifications, and associated pipelines to document the design criteria. The TM will cover the approach and applicable design criteria for each design discipline, including the following elements for each pump station and pipeline alignment:

A workshop with City staff will be held to discuss the Draft TM and 30% design drawing, and any critical issues as provided in Phase 1200.
Task 3000.03
Deliverables:
1. Pump Stations and Pipelines Draft and Final TM (Electronic, Adobe pdf format) Task 04 – Surge Analysis and Control Recommendations
Upon the sudden loss of power to the Holiday Lake Pump Station during pump operation, a lowpressure wave will propagate out into the pipeline, lowering the pressure in the system as it travels downstream toward the Holiday Lake Reservoir. This low-pressure wave could result in a reduction in the hydraulic grade line (HGL) elevation sufficient to cause negative pressure conditions in the pipeline, leading to possible vapor pressure conditions that could result in water column separation and vapor cavity formation. Upon reflection of the pressure surge wave at the Holiday Lake Reservoir and re-pressurization of the system, any vapor cavities that have formed will collapse, creating extremely high pressures that could over-pressurize the system. When the re-pressurization wave reaches the pump station, it will again be reflected as a high-pressure wave that, depending on the magnitude, could over-pressurize the system. Kennedy Jenks will subcontract with Scott Foster Engineering, Inc. (SFE) to perform an analysis of a sudden loss of power and the startup of the pump station when delivering flow to the Holiday Lake Reservoir.
Subtask 04.01 – Information Review
Applicable project information will be reviewed including pump station plans and sections; pump curves; valving; operational scenarios, and hydraulic model of the Holiday Lake Zone.
Proposed pipeline profiles, materials, diameters, and pressure classes will also be reviewed.
Subtask 04.02 – Model Development
A surge analysis model of the system including the pump station and the pipeline for maximum and minimum demand flow conditions delivering to the Holiday Lake Reservoir under high and low water surface elevations for both the East Dunne and Holiday Lake reservoirs will be created.
Subtask 04.03 – Analysis and Recommendations
Surge analyses simulations will be performed for sudden pump trip and pump startup of the pump station under maximum and minimum demand flow conditions assuming no surge protection for the system. Based on the results of the analyses, if necessary, surge protection measures will be recommended in the form of pressurized surge tanks and/or vacuum relief valves to protect the entire system from adverse pressure surges.
Subtask 04.04 – Draft Technical Memorandum
A Draft Technical Memorandum will be prepared and submitted summarizing the results and recommendations of the analysis.
Subtask 04.05 – Final Technical Memorandum
Following receipt of Kennedy Jenks and City comments, SFE will address the comments and submit the Final Technical Memorandum.

3 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2026
PREPARED BY:
Cynthia Iwanaga, Management Analyst
APPROVED BY: City Manager
APPROVE FY 2026-27 COUNTYWIDE SOLID WASTE SERVICES FOOD RECOVERY PROGRAM AGREEMENT WITH JOINT VENTURE:
SILICON VALLEY NETWORK
RECOMMENDATION(S)
1. Approve the FY 2026-27 Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network consultant agreement for the Food Recovery Program in the amount of $514,913; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute and administer the agreement with Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES
City Council Ongoing Priorities
Protecting the Environment and Preserving Open Space and Agricultural Land Promoting a Healthy Community
REPORT NARRATIVE:
The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with an opportunity to consider entering into a consultant agreement with Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network ("JVSV") for the administration and implementation of the FY 2026-27 Santa Clara County Food Recovery Program. The cost of the agreement is offset by revenue from participating jurisdictions.
In July 2021, City of Morgan Hill staff began providing Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Administrator and Contracting Agent roles for administering the work of the Countywide Solid Waste Services (CSWS) Program. One of the largest contracts the City administers is for the Santa Clara County Food Recovery Program (Food Recovery Program), which is required under State of California law (SB 1383). The Food Recovery Program focuses on the collection of food from specific food-generating businesses and the redistribution of that food to feed people in need. The agreement supports implementation of the Food Recovery Program, which includes base operations to reach minimum compliance with SB 1383 requirements for food recovery programs, as well as program enhancements to launch a Reusables in Prepared Food Recovery Pilot Program and Community Refrigeration Pilot Program.
3 On November 13, 2025, the County's Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission (RWRC) Implementation Committee (IC) approved the Food Recovery Program budget for fiscal years 2026-2028, and recommended that the RWRC approve the budget, and associated enhancement projects to implement in FY 2026-27. On January 15, 2026, the RWRC approved the budget for the implementation of the FY 2026-27 JVSV consultant agreement for the implementation of the Food Recovery Program and associated program enhancements.
Staff recommends entering into the FY 2026-27 Consultant Agreement with JVSV in the total amount of $514,913. The base program amount is $318,879 and the enhancement programs amount is $196,034. The agreement will support food recovery program services for the period from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Not Applicable
The subject of this staff report is entirely administrative in nature and does not impact services directly provided to the Morgan Hill community. Given this, no community engagement was conducted prior to this meeting.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council could decline approval of this agreement. In this scenario, the City would be unable to administer the Food Recovery Program, which is work that participating jurisdictions have asked that the City implement in its role as the CSWS TAC Administrator and Contracting Agent. This could also result in significant regulatory issues for all jurisdictions in fulfilling mandated State requirements.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The City Council has not taken prior action on this specific agreement but previously took action approving an amendment to the FY2025-26 Food Recovery Contract on October 15, 2025.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The new FY 2026-27 JVSV consultant agreement for the implementation of the Food Recovery Program was approved by the Recycling and Waste Reduction Commission (RWRC) on January 15, 2026 as a project fully funded by TAC member jurisdictions' contributions, and will have no impact on the City's General Fund. Funding will be included in the FY 2026-27 Budget in Fund 246 Countywide Solid Waste Program.
Administering this program assists Morgan Hill in having a strong say in countywide programming and leadership in countywide solid waste management.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Not a Project
The activities associated with this item are administrative actitivites that will not result in direct changes to the physical environment.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
“Base” Food Recovery Program
The Santa Clara County Food Recovery Program will utilize efficient systems and protocols, developed in previous years, to conduct ongoing activities. The Program will continue to develop and refine systems and protocols as new aspects of the law are implemented, and in response to any CalRecycle enforcement action.The Program will dedicate more time and resources to harderto-reach, more difficult generators, resulting in potentially more enforcement referrals and Program time spent communicating and following up with these generators.
A. Shall develop and coordinate a standardized and uniform method to comply with California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12, “Short-Lived Climate Pollutants.” The Program Manager will operate within the Jurisdiction’s boundaries and replace the need for the Jurisdiction to create such a program on its own.
B. In the event of a CalRecycle Implementation Schedule for a food recovery capacity shortfall identified during a Santa Clara County Edible Food Recovery Capacity Assessment, The Program will work to develop the Implementation Schedule with CalRecycle and manage the effort to fund necessary capacity improvements as outlined in the Schedule. Additional Base Program costs beyond the allowable 10% yearly increase may be needed. The RWRC will review and approve or deny any needed budget changes. Funds will be collected based on the number of edible food generators and their auxiliary sites in each Jurisdiction.
C. Shall conduct a review, each fiscal year, of potential new edible food generators, to ensure that as businesses open in Santa Clara County the appropriate regulated entities are added to the lists. Closing businesses will be identified during the reporting process and be eliminated from the lists.
D. Shall provide the Jurisdictions with the information and data necessary for the Jurisdictions to make their required reports to the California Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery (“CalRecycle”).
E. Shall retain records of inspections in the Jurisdictions for a minimum of five (5) years.
F. Shall notify the Jurisdictions promptly about any related issues that require the Jurisdictions’ assistance or to request the Jurisdictions lead in resolving the issue(s) that arise related to noncompliance.
G. Shall fulfill and endeavor to exceed the annual education requirement for the Jurisdictions and provide the data needed for Jurisdictions to complete required CalRecycle reports.
H. Solicit required Food Recovery Reports from generators and Food Recovery Organization/Services, compile and provide the results to Jurisdictions for inclusion in the Implementation Records, and to Santa Clara County for use in future Capacity Planning efforts.
I. Shall conduct inspections, at least 10% of generators per jurisdiction, and monitoring in compliance with CalRecycle expectations for Edible Food Generators and Food Recovery Organizations and Services.
J. The Program shall supply appropriate content for a web site, including a list of Food Recovery Organizations and Services (to be updated at least annually) and be accessible to Edible Food Generators.
K. The Program shall represent the interests of the Program with other entities, counties, and CalRecycle.
L. The Program will develop procedures and timelines for cities and unincorporated County to encourage uniformity in enforcement, which the Cities and County would be encouraged to follow.
12 Updated November 2024
M. The Program shall create reports about Program activities each year in September, ahead of the budgeting process for the next fiscal year. These reports shall include a narrative about the Food Recovery Program activities, statistics, total number of pounds of food recovered as reported by Food Generators and Food Recovery Organizations (“FROs”), and any additional information needed by the Jurisdictions. Statistics about food waste prevention and food recovery in Santa Clara County will be shared publicly.
Enhancements
Reusables in Prepared Food Recovery Pilot
In line with broader state and local goals to move away from single use packaging, this project would support businesses and FROs willing to pilot the use of reusables in the recovery of prepared food from food businesses or for recovered food prepared by FROs and delivered to clients.
Starting with research into current best practices across the country, staff would develop a research-based program for reusable containers in food recovery, designing a strong program and saving businesses and FROs money.
Deliverables
1. Develop a research-based Reusables in Food Recovery Program to be piloted in Santa Clara County.
2. Identify FRO partners with capacity and interest in using, inventorying, storing and washing reusable containers for prepared food recovery.
3. Select and purchase/apply for grants for the reusable materials, in consultation with FRO partners.
4. Prepare a report assessing program effectiveness from the standpoint of FRO partners, businesses; container loss rates; and prospects for expanding the program.
Community Refrigeration Pilot
The Initiative aims to set up commercial refrigeration at three affordable housing complexes or other public-serving organizations where surplus edible food recovered from large food-generating businesses will be delivered and made available to community members. This project is a continuation of the work that the Initiative has successfully implemented at four affordable housing sites in Santa Clara County with funding from, and in partnership with, the Public Health Department. It will increase both edible food recovery capacity in the county and make food assistance more accessible and convenient for low-income Santa Clara County residents. The steps to establish such a program are described in greater detail in the JVSV Food Recovery Initiative’s Program Implementation Guide. Initiative staff will work with the host site(s) as the sites purchase equipment and the sites ensure electricity requirements are met. The site(s) will invoice the Initiative for a stipend to cover start-up costs.
Deliverables
1. Evaluate host site options, including housing facilities and/or public-serving organizations, and choose the best sites for the program.
2. Conduct an RFP process to fairly evaluate and choose a food recovery organization to reliably source surplus food from local businesses and/or institutions and safely deliver to the host sites.
3. Facilitate the establishment of the food access program at the 3 sites, including facilitating the procurement and establishment of food storage equipment and supporting onsite staff in developing participation guidelines and informing participants.
13 Updated November 2024
4. Conduct outreach about the Community Refrigeration Pilot to housing providers and some other public facing institutions in cities funding this project. Offer technical assistance to those who want it.
5. Compile a final report capturing project outcomes, lessons learned, and recommendations for future iterations.

COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD

RECOMMENDATION(S)
Authorize the City Manager to execute the second amendment to the agreement with the County of Santa Clara for the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES

Protecting the Environment and Preserving Open Space and Agricultural Land Strategic Priorities 2026-2027
Public Safety
REPORT NARRATIVE:
The purpose of this City Council report is to request authorization for the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment to the Agreement for the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program (Attachment 1).
For over 20 years, County of Santa Clara has collected a fee to offset each jurisdiction’s solid waste management and HHW management expenses. The Countywide AB 939 Fee is collected at waste transfer and disposal facilities by facility operators and has two components. The first component is a Program Fee of $1.50 per ton, which is charged to assist in funding integrated waste management activities. The second component is the HHW Fee of $2.60 per ton, which is held by the County and used to directly offset HHW Collection Program costs associated with use of the program by each jurisdiction’s residents. The HHW Collection Program provides City residents with the opportunity to participate in several HHW collection events each month, held at a permanent collection center in San Martin. If HHW Fee revenues exceed a jurisdiction’s HHW Collection Program costs at the end of the fiscal year, the remaining funds are transferred to the jurisdictions to be used to promote or support HHW management costs. Alternatively, if HHW Fee revenues are less than a jurisdiction’s HHW Collection Program costs at the end of the fiscal year, then the jurisdiction is billed for the shortfall.
4 In 2024, the Council authorized the City Manager to execute the three-year Countywide HHW Collection Program Agreement (Attachment 2). In 2025, the Council authorized the First Amendment to the agreement (Attachment 3), which included the FY 2025-26 collection schedule and updated augmentation amount. Staff is now requesting approval of the Second Amendment, which includes the FY 2026-27 collection schedule and updated augmentation amount.
Each year, the County reviews HHW Program participation levels and AB 939 disposal fee revenues to evaluate each city’s contribution and recommend adjustments to the projected augmentation amount. For FY 2026-27, the County also completed a competitive procurement process for a new service provider. The proposals received reflected a minimum 20% increase in cost. While County staff continue to negotiate more favorable rates, current projections reflect these anticipated increases. In addition, recent economic impacts to the County budget, including reduced federal funding, have increased overall program costs and required adjustments to overhead allocations.
For FY 2026-27, the County recommends an augmentation amount of $131,512. While the City may elect to allocate a different amount, the City would be responsible for any shortfall. Approval of the recommended augmentation amount will help ensure that all Morgan Hill residents desiring to participate in the program will be allowed to do so.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform
The recommended action is an extension of a long-standing program with no changes proposed, so no engagement activities were conducted prior to presenting the amendment for Council consideration. Should the Second Amendment be approved, staff will continue to inform the public about the availability of the County program along with other local HHW disposal opportunities.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The Council could decide not to approve the Second Amendment and direct staff to further evaluate the provision of these services and the recommended augmentation amount.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The current Countywide First Amendment to the HHW Collection Program Agreement was approved by the City Council on May 25, 2025 (Attachment 2). The Council has historically acted annually on either an agreement or an amendment to the agreement for over 20 years.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Fees collected and actual participation in the HHW Collection Program can vary from year to year. Based on current County projections, providing HHW collection services to Morgan Hill residents at a rate of 4% of households will require a City subsidy for the base HHW program in FY 2026-27. In addition, due to continued strong resident participation, increased contractor service costs resulting from the County’s recent
4 competitive procurement process, and higher program overhead allocations, the County of Santa Clara recommends the City provide a total augmentation amount of $131,512 for FY 2026-27. While the City may elect to allocate a different amount, the City would be responsible for any resulting Discretionary Fund shortfall.
Under the City’s current Franchise Agreement for solid waste collection services, implementation fees may be requested by the City at the beginning of each fiscal year to cover costs related to compliance activities required under local, regional, state, or federal permits, laws, and/or regulations for the collection and management of solid waste. Because the HHW Collection Program is required as part of AB 939 compliance, similar to prior years, the City will continue to request implementation funds to cover ongoing annual HHW Collection Program costs based on program participation levels, implementation costs, and HHW Fee collections at landfills. The annual request for these implementation funds helps ensure that increasing County HHW costs do not impact the City’s General Fund.
Should the City owe less to the HHW Collection Program than the requested implementation funds in a given year, any remaining funds would be used for other local solid waste collection services and/or to offset the next HHW implementation funds request.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Approval is categorically exempt from environmental review under Section 15308 (Actions by regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Second Amendment to Agreement for Countywide Page 1 of 5 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program
SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM
The Agreement for Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program (AGREEMENT) by and between the City of Morgan Hill (CITY) and the County of Santa Clara (COUNTY) previously entered into on June 28, 2024, and as subsequently amended, is hereby further amended as set forth below.
The COUNTY and the CITY agree that:
1. Section 3. FIXED PROGRAM COST is amended in full to read:
3. FIXED PROGRAM COST
Estimated HHW Fixed Program Costs are projected in Attachment B-1, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Fixed Program Costs are allocated to CITY at the conclusion of each fiscal year based on CITY’s proportional share of the County population and will not exceed $5.07 per household for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026. Fixed Program Cost will not exceed $5.19 per household for Fiscal Year 2027. Fixed Program Costs may include, but are not limited to, up to eleven (11) County HHW Program staff members, facility lease costs, vehicle lease costs, office rent, office supplies, county administrative overhead, county legal counsel, training costs, equipment and facility maintenance and union negotiated salary and benefit changes.
2. Section 6. VARIABLE COST PER CAR is amended in full to read:
6. VARIABLE COST PER CAR
The Variable Cost Per Car is the cost associated with actual labor, waste disposal, transportation and other services provided to the residents at the County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facilities (CoHHWCF) and at Temporary Events. The Variable Cost Per Car is estimated to be approximately $66.02 per participating resident car for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026. The Variable Cost Per Car is estimated to be approximately $86.73 per participating resident car for Fiscal Year 2027. The estimated cost per car will be adjusted to reflect actual service costs. After Fixed Program Costs and San José Facility Use Surcharge are allocated on a per household basis, the Variable Cost Per Car will be used to calculate the costs to service 4% of households across all participating jurisdictions.
If the level of 4% of households is not reached in the CITY, the CoHHW Program may use the remaining balance of funds, in cooperation with the CITY, to increase public outreach and/or provide additional services in that jurisdiction the following year.
